Allergy season is upon us, and joining her is Mother Nature’s favorite little trick — wind. As the trash forms tiny tornados all down Essex Street, and takeout containers, plastic bags, and other rubbish turn into tunnels sending dust, dirt and pollen straight into my eyes, I can’t help but reach for my trusty antihistamine to prevent my face from blowing up like a balloon. My mother swears by Zyrtec, I’m a Claritin girl, but really I don’t know how much it matters. Also, a great party trick if you feel your face getting red after a crappy Chardonnay, pop one of these and you’re good to go.
