SATURDAY, April 1, 2017 (HealthDay News) -- Spring can rain misery on allergy sufferers, but there are a number of ways to ease your agony, a physician expert says.

"Allergies affect millions in the U.S., and while there is no way to avoid irritants like pollen entirely, there are simple solutions to mitigate allergic reactions," said Dr. Joseph Cooke.

Cooke is chair of the department of medicine at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital Queens.

I read once that turning the water in your shower all the way to cold for 30 seconds right before you get out would help with allergies, so I thought I'd try it a few years ago. 

I think it actually did help a bit, but decided it really wasn't worth it.

So, bottom line - stay inside when the counts are high.  In central Texas we would never go outside, except maybe while it's raining.
