    Funny thing, in my family we’re all allergic to birch pollen. So before the pollen season we often tap some birch sap and drink to bolster our immune system in advance. Dunno if there’s any science behind it, but in my experience it’s done wonders.

      I think in context, I think you are desensitizing rather than bolstering. 👆 You may have meant that, 👈 but in case you didn’t.

      I’ve heard that eating local honey similarly lowers your allergy response to local pollen, and I believed that, so I’ll believe this too.
