🌳😪🌳 We just wanna go outside without sneezing a million times!
This comic was from Our Super Adventure Volume 2: Video Games and Pizza Parties! 🎮🍕 (Signed copies available over at sarahgraley.com/shop !)
I feel like humanity's ability to hope regardless of hopeless odds is best represented by me searching my handbag for a tissue literally half an hour after dumping everything out of my handbag at home and throwing away all the tissues.
just found out that when characters on tv are talking about their “allergies” (non-specific), they’re talking about hayfever?? I am gobsmacked, I have been bamboozled, flabbergasted, if you will.
Spring has come, and my sinuses have left. Hopefully this comic helps someone else have an important realization about their health, and they don't have to find it out 20 years too late like I did.
Sorry for the late post, loves. It's been a bad couple of days for my allergies and asthmatic ass! I'm currently sat at work having a full blown asthma attack, and I can't go home because we're short staffed (again). I'm supposed to be DnD-ing with my party tonight, but my chest is so tight that I just want to sleep! The tree pollen is so fierce rn and my little lungs cannae take it. Imma just hold out till 4pm and hope for the best lol.
It’s nowhere near the fall hayfever season, but I thought I’d PSA anyway.
Hayfever is caused by RAGWEED (Ambrosia artemisiifolia and Ambrosia trifida where I live).
NOT. Goldenrod (Solidago, Oligoneuron, Euthamia). It is impossible for goldenrods to even cause hayfever since their pollen isn’t released to the wind. Goldenrods are beautiful, with some edible parts, some medicinal properties, and middle of summer through fall pollenators love them.
Non-exhaustive list of goldenrods
Euthamia graminifolia (Flat-top goldenrod):
Oligoneuron rigida (Stiff goldenrod):
Solidago bicolor (Silverrod):
Solidago caesia (Blue-stem goldenrod):
Solidago canadensis (Canada goldenrod):
Solidago flexicaulis (Zigzag goldenrod):
Solidago juncea (Early goldenrod):
Solidago missouriensis (Prairie goldenrod):
Solidago multiradiata (Alpine goldenrod):
Solidago nemoralis (Gray goldenrod):
Solidago odora (Anise-scented goldenrod):
Solidago ohiensis (Ohio goldenrod):
Solidago patula (Rough-leaf goldenrod):
Solidago ptarmicoides (Upland white aster):
Solidago rugosa (Wrinkleleaf goldenrod):
Solidago simplex (Spike goldenrod):
Solidago speciosa (Showy goldenrod):
Solidago uliginosa (Bog goldenrod):
The only drawback is that many goldenrod species spread a lot and quickly if you don’t keep on top of those rhizomes. But if you need to fill a space in a relatively short period of time, why not try some in your garden? They’ll grow up green through spring and summer and put on a show in the fall (earlier depending on the species)!
