Seems that the bottlebrush that grows around here at breakneck speed, causes some allergic distress. The bushes bloom twice a year and in the spring, seem to have their heaviest pollen profusion. Generally, I'm not bothered by pollen, but my backyard and the two that touch mine, are all planted with many bottlebrush and even I am bothered. Helped solve the problem indoors with a good hepa filtration device working in our bedroom each night...it helps, sleep isn't too disturbed with sneezing. Sometimes it takes a while for your body to become sensitized to different pollens,,,,but maybe the ones here won't bother you....fingers crossed!
