Water is more dangerous, hic.
Apparantly, a dose of Broccoli 100 grams and above helps, 200 grams being optimum.
Organic,cheap hayfever protection that works.

I've been rubbing them over my nipples. When can I expect the effect to kick in?

If you want an actual alternative to tablets then you can get little tubs of beeswax (vaseline does the same job but is heavier)
You smear a little around the base of your nostrils and on the cheekbones around the eye - coupled with a pair of wraparound sunglasses it does actually make a difference.
You have to be diligent about reapplication though.
I do this aswell as tablets as I get really severe hayfever (wheezy chest, completely blocked nose and bloodshot eyes)

Those are not a cure but a barrier. Basically they are introducing something sticky to the inside of the nose, which along with the hairs catch more of the pollen particles thus stopping the allergans getting into your system to cause issues.
I find a snotty nose does something similar and is totally natural and organic. It was probably why my younger years I never had hayfever but shortly after I started to keep my own nose clean I developed hayfever!!

A bot, that spams...
The mention of honey reminded me of an episode of the " Sliced Bread " podcast which looked at Manuka ( and other ) honeys. A really interesting podcast, including the search for a honey with similar properties to Manuka which led to a beekeeper in Wales.

I find that - assuming I take the tablets - I don;t suffer much when riding
even when riding through the countryside which must be chock full of pollen and stuff
but when I get home and stop - then shortly after my eyes start itching and stinging like mad
On my wife's advise I srated rinsing my face and eys very thoroughly with warm water when this happens
which works for me
the theory is that the pollen gathers around the eyes etc - but the amount is so great that the body's systems are totally overwhelmed and shoot down
Hence not causing the problems
Then you get home and the onslaught stops so the over reactions start off on full throttle
not sure this has any more evidence behind it that broccoli - sorry organic broccoli - but it works for me which os good enough for me
my wife does have an annpying habit of coming up with weird old wives tales
which turn out to work even through the "science" behind it is dodgy
another example is butter on burns

Seems to work - clearly just for normal burns after putting under water to take the heat out of it
but it does work when she has done it when I have been around
anything more serious needs a visit to the doctor - but normal household stuff is OK
