Ah yes, the time of year that if you step outside your eyes might swell shut. Allergy season is here people! Here's what to do to get through this different time.

1. Remember, summer is Coming

Knowing that summer is right around the corner makes it almost worth not being able to breathe.

2. Try Not To Track It

The bees do enough of carrying it from place to place. So please don't put your cup on the roof of your car and then bring it inside, and beat off your shoes before coming into your house.

3. Invest in Good Medicine

Having allergies for me sometimes feels like the flu. Also, my face swells up a little. Invest in some good allergy medicine, and if all else fails there's always Benedryl.

4. Wash Your Car

I'm guilty of not doing this enough myself, but it helps and hopefully, it stays clean longer than 24 hours before your car has a yellow tint to it again.

5. Grab Some Tissues

You probably won't be able to stop sneezing and/or coughing. So, invest in a big box or two of tissues. Maybe splurge and get the lotion kind, your nose will thank you.

6. Stay Hydrated

It helps more than you realize.

7. Take a Nap or Two

8. Stay Inside

It's not worth it if you can't breathe.
