It’s the start of allergy season, I think. That might be why I’ve got the headache and nausea and my tooth hurts probably because the head hurts and it’s referred pain. I’m allergic to ragweed. I know what rags look like and I know what weed looks like, but I can’t imagine putting them together. But I don’t need to be anywhere near the stuff because it’s pollen can allegedly be carried hella far.
Ragweed pollen can remain airborne for days and travel great distances, and can even be carried 300–400 miles (500–600 km) out to sea.
Allegedly half to 3/4 of all allergies are caused by ragweed. I’m not sure why they haven’t eradicated it by now if it’s that big a problem. Imagine eliminating half the allergies in the entire world by getting rid of one plant. You would be nuts not to do it.
