Me too! Driving me crazy. And bug bites. Yikes!

They are called oak trees, water, black, dead. It will take a couple of years but you will adjust. And grass. Can you not hear mowers everyday?

Me too with Net Pot. So I make a warm salt solution which is what they use for saline solution, a teaspoon salt into approximately 1/4 cup warm water. Stir to melt salt. Pour into my cupped hand. Sniff it up by leaning down, first one nostril then the other. Let the saline solution drip into mouth. A small sniff or two is enough. Also produces nice clean breath for me.
Old country prescription to help with colds by my doctor.

Try Zyrtec - it works great for us. Also, buy Johnson's baby shampoo for your eyelids. I put 1 drop of shampoo on a warm wash cloth, wipe your eyelids. Rinse cloth & wipe your bottom eyelids. It sounds weird, but it works great (an eye dr. I had up-north told me about it).

I have had ongoing allergy-induced sinus issues. Last year my ear, nose, and throat specialist in Cleveland, Ohio prescribed a nasal spray by the name of IPRATROPIUM BROMIDE which was a game-changer for me.

For irritated eyes, I've also gotten relief using warm compresses.

Original poster here. What an excellent set of responses and options you all have posted. I think there are 65 responses. Thank you so much. Update - after nonstop sneezing and sniffling last weekend the symptoms disappeared totally on Sunday. I was much relieved but plan to have medications on hand in case it returns again. Thank you all so much for your helpful posts.

Good call. Not too long ago it was over $200 now it’s over the counter for under $20. And the best part it works.
