Today I acquired...........

[sako243]

Today I (re)acquired a path to the vegetable garden, some concrete under the brambles and nettles, some slate paths. Now I just need to cut into the bottom end and select some slate slabs from my stockpile to fashion into steps. I know one got cut into a slab for the flat's kitchen and I suspect some of the others got repurposed into shelves in the workshop but I've got enough to cut up if I wanted to.

Hi, hope everyone’s o.k.
Oh dear, this seems to have made its way into a rented van.

That's nice how much did it set you back?

Which means I'm producing far too much histamine .

Erm...it's not a reaction to the yew is it?

Found out a fortnight ago that the sudden acute screaming itchy weeping rash & hives attack that I had on 17 March this year looked like king sized nettle rashes all over me save for my JT . is histamine related .

Running along with it was a 999 event , a crazy shortness of breath. The Para Medic & two ambulance crew were not able to help initially , till a few hours later after lots of smart phone searching for data , he asked if I'd ever had Urticaria. Which means I'm producing far too much histamine .

He suggested I try taking some antihistamine , thankfully we had a pack left by my daughter with a use by date of 30 / 6 . 2023 .
Two tablets & it's disappearing in the next half hour , having two more every four hours & 8 hrs later it's all gone save for hundreds of goose pimple sized bumps all over me . Subsequent blood tests confirmed it . I'm now on a course of pharmaceutical antihistamines for six months then a month break then back to the dermatologist , with new blood test results .

What you have posted ties in well with the sileage making , high levels of birch , oak & grass pollen that been happening , that helps me a lot , thanks for posting .

I have the very same thing going on with me...been none allergic all my life and get vaccinated for the C19 and "Wham" for no reason i come out in itchy hives summer or winter it does not matter then they go as fast as they come.

In the last five years I have become allergic to the great outdoors, which is a right bloody hoot.

As I found out recently an allergic reaction can happen to something you've been around all your life...one day your immune system just takes a disliking and that it...every time you come across that thing it goes into overdrive! It was news to me when I ended up in the back of the van with the blue blinkers...fortunately I was fine but was a bit scary.

I have a twelve-incher, but I don't use it as a rule.

Never mind find something else to occupy your time

An old friend of mine, a general practitioner in Hamburg - now retired - told me some 15-20 years ago that the incidence of allergies in the population had increased significantly during his professional practice alone.

Since then, I have raised the issue several times with practising doctors - the unanimous answer is that the increase has accelerated again in the past 10 years.

The common cause is generally thought to be an increase in newer generation environmental toxins in addition to the known ones.

Interestingly, I recently read the report of a large laboratory that was supposed to investigate the case of a sick farmer family with sick cattle.

Many blood samples were taken from the farm and the early suspicion was glyphosate.

In such investigations, you always need a "clean" control group for meaningful results, and this laboratory tapped its own staff in such cases.

The shocking finding was that not a single one of the lab's own workers could be found in whose blood there were no traces of glyphosate!

This probably has nothing to do with a Corona vaccination.
The dirt is all around us, so it is also inside us ...

This is also a reason for our decision in cultivation: no poison, no artifical fertiliser, no genetically manipulated seeds and plants!

But I have to admit: We never had to live from our agricultural yields alone - then it might look different ... but you have to try something!


Carsten --> who meanwhile also knows some surprising allergic reactions, after a life completely without the crap.

Ok you must be correct then and i have nothing to worry about That sort of narrative reminds me of the last 2 years and everything has been a dream because they said we will all be just fine.

I presume the rest of the herd? flock? instinctively form a protective circle?

You got me exactly the wrong way around there - of couse you have to be worried, we all have to.

Maybe it was the vaccination that triggered this in you, I don't know, you probably don't either - we just must not confuse a concurrence in time with a causality.

All I meant to say was that we really don't need to look to Covid and vaccination for an increase in allergies, we have created enough reasons of our own!

We have every reason to be concerned, and the past two years show this particularly clearly.

I'm not sure what mistake I could have made that you misunderstood me so much!

I apologize if i came across a bit harsh, i do and my current consultant feels the vax has triggered my personal complaint after reading your post again i also agree with your argument that we as humans have collectively put things into place that has ruined the soils and seas that has become the catalyst for new allergies.

Had this same conversation with my boss yesterday. I'm pro vaccination and all that, but the COVID vacs, haven't done my wife any favours.

Just as we here, BioNTech/Pfizer for all of us, the boys, SWMBO and me - all of us of the lesser sex had absolutely nothing, madame had two days of feeling sick

But that was it - none of us got it.
