I gave up on the handkerchiefs and started carrying large boxes of
Kleenex and a sack/bag to put the used ones in.

On Sunday we spent all day outside, getting the pool ready at the inn. It
is
shaded by giant river birch trees, which -- at this time of year -- are
shedding lots of little flakes of pollen (?).

I'm apparently violently allergic to this tree pollen. My eyes swelled
shut, and stayed that way for a couple of days. Allegra, my usual
FAA-approved medicine (which I use for late-summer hay fever), didn't
help.

Can anyone recommend any other FAA-approved allergy medicines?
