Thanks for the suggestion, but it sounds as if I'd have needed to eat 
local honey all winter for this to do any good this spring (assuming it 
would, and I'm dubious about "natural" remedies that haven't been 
subjected to clinical tests. Despite the article's claim of "scientific 
evidence" for honey as allergy treatment others suggest that's not the 
case:

)

I also don't have much of a sweet tooth.
