Spring is beautiful… until the allergies hit. From itchy eyes to runny noses, allergy season affects millions—and our furry friends, too! Whether you’re outdoors, at work, or walking the dog, a few simple habits can keep the whole crew a little safer this season.

Natural Remedies for You:

• Drink Local Honey Tea: Some people swear by a daily spoonful of local honey to help your body build resistance to local pollens. Add it to warm tea with lemon and ginger to soothe scratchy throats.
• Try a Turmeric Shot: Turmeric has natural anti-inflammatory properties. Mixed with a little black pepper and juice, it can help reduce sinus swelling and boost immunity.

🐶 Don’t Forget Your Pets!

Spring is also risky for animals. Be on the lookout for:

• Foxtails & seed pods that can get stuck in ears, noses, and paws.
• Baby snakes emerging in spring—they’re often more dangerous than adults because they haven’t learned to control their venom.
• Pollen buildup on fur: After walks, give your pet a quick wipe-down to reduce indoor allergens.

And for Outdoor Lovers:

If you work outside or take breaks in green spaces, wash hands regularly, wear sunglasses to reduce eye exposure, and change clothes after high-exposure days. Even a light jacket can carry pollen home.
