I have rather intense seasonal allergies. When I finally tried to do something

You can control seasonal allergies somewhat by going dairy-free. You only
need to go dairy-free during the allergy season. The casein in dairy
increases mucous. Some singers avoid dairy for this reason.

My allergies are such that my *skin* itches just from the "crud" in
the air.
