I used to have allergies when I was younger, but then I kind of grew out of it. I still feel the effects on particularly bad days (when there is a high pollen count). I almost feel it's a waste to buy the allergy pills for the like 2 days a year I need it. (Except, of course, the two days it's worst is always days when I'm extremely busy and can't afford to be feeling the effects.)
I normally don't get hay fever but some of the same symptoms as my allergies worsen when the weather starts changing and trees budding so more pollen is in the air.
