Answer 1

I used to get seasonal allergies to pollen and such.. horrible congestion and itchy eyes etc.

Went away after I turned mid 20s.

I ate some raw unpasteurized honey about 3 or 4 PB and honey sandwiches a day for a few weeks…

Horrendous allergies in middle of winter… finally figured out it was the honey and it took a week or two to fully clear up.

Throat was closing mouth breathing so congested eyes burning I was so confused.
