Chris, Kaitlyn and I have allergies. Our boys do not. Not sure how that happened, but I’m glad they don’t have to deal with it. Allergies are a pain in the patootie. My parents discovered I had allergies when I was around 7 or 8 and went to a neighbor’s house one summer day to see their new puppies. I can even remember this, laying down on the grass, wearing some kind of smocked halter top and shorts and the puppies jumping on my tummy, which I thought was funny because it tickled.
Until I got home and my entire body was covered in itchy red welts. My Mom made a doctor appointment and applied Calamine Lotion, there was a trip to an allergist where I learned how they test for allergies – at least back then, it was scratching the skin and applying a bit of the suspected substance to see if there was a reaction. In addition to dogs AND cats, I also tested positive for allergies to dust, tree and plant pollen, grasses, and ragweed. Which means that I’m pretty much allergic to something all year round.
So when I got an email about reviewing Allegra products I was all “YES, PLEASE RELIEVE OUR SUFFERING”, and they sent a great selection for both adults and kids, plus a fun outdoor game we can play without worrying about watery eyes and runny noses!
Allegra provides 24-hour relief from indoor and outdoor allergies and the symptoms of sneezing, runny nose, itchy, watery eyes, and/or an itchy nose or throat. What makes Allegra different from other OTC allergy medications is that it will NOT make you drowsy. The FAA, the Air Force, and the Army even let pilots take it while flying! See how Allegra compares to Claritin, Zyrtec and Benadryl. I’ve been taking one tablet a day in the morning, and I haven’t had a problem with my eyes at all. I gave some of the children’s liquid to Kaitlyn for her runny nose and it did dry it up. We’ll continue to use it over the summer.
