Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.
Speaker 2: So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged?
Is it me? Am?
Speaker 1: I going totally insane here that every time my nose
fills up? It's not allergies anymore. Na, man, you probably
got COVID, or you could have RSV. You might be
coming down with the flu. It just seems like allergies
are getting a bad rap. They really do. It's like
whatever happened to old fashioned allergies where your nose would
just get all swollen and your eyes are just, oh,
just watering all the time, and your body aches. Now
people hear you sneezing, It's like where's your mask at?
Why aren't you wearing a mask? It's who we've become.
And I have to ask that question. If I've got allergies,
why isn't my allergy medicine work? And I might as
well just be sitting.
Speaker 2: Here questioning my nose together and talking like this all
the time. Hey, it's a arrow.
Speaker 1: This is the daily Mess, a chronological walk through an
everyday world. I am a daily writer. I've been doing
that for thirty years. I'm the silent wolf. I sit
on the sides and I just watch, observing, listening, and
then kind of doing some research so that we can
have a conversation. This is the daily mess. It is
allergy season, and that means a lot of people are
trying to push themselves beyond nature's challenges and curses. You
can see it in their eyes, hear it in their voices,
watch it in their body language. It seems like last
year's remedy no longer wants to work, and I got
to ask that question.
Speaker 2: Has pollen changed?
Speaker 1: Are the bees that are just right down the road
from me in this forest are they doing something differently
that I need to prep for. Speaking of those bees,
I do have to laugh at the amazing amount of
people that are buying honey right now. But what they
don't realize. It's got to be local honey that gets
you working right, Local honey, not something from California or
another country. The reason behind honey being a giant relief
has a lot to do with the atmosphere of where
you presently live, and it will help you out with breathing.
But it's not going to be like overnight I remember
the days when my daughter was attending UCLA in Los Angeles.
We would always be out there in the big city
and I could breathe so well. While in Los Angeles,
here's the city that has smog that's enough to weigh
you down for the rest of your life. And yet
when I got out in LA I could breathe. But
when I came home to the Carolinas, Oh, I.
Speaker 2: Don't know what's gotten into me.
Speaker 1: Oh the allergies just go crazy. And so I've done
some research. Can we lock ourselves inside our homes and
not have to worry about allergies? And the answer to
that is it's not going to happen, which is the
reason why I have an ionizer. All of that stuff
that you're allergic to finds its way into your house,
especially when you're driving in your car and you got
to click on the air conditioning. All of that stuff
out there is now in you. So I have an
ionizer that keeps my air clean and I'm able to
breathe inside.
Speaker 2: But I have that fear of God.
Speaker 1: If he goes outside, what will happen next? Well, I'll
probably suffer. But you just got to roll up your
sleeves and move forward. What do you do to break
free of your allergies or are you in one of
those zones you don't have to worry about allergies, because
is it allergies? Is it covid, is it RSV? Is
it the flu? We don't know.
Speaker 2: That's where we are. I'm ero and that's the daily mess.
