Does anyone know what awful allergen seems to descend upon Austin in the wee hours of the morning? I get headaches, itchy ears, and a stuffy nose pretty regularly after 1 AM and I have no idea what the cause is.

Not sure but go see Dr Slaughter and get you some allergy drops.
if while asleep/in bed
dust mites
get dust mite covers
wash/change sheets 1x a week
eucalyptus essential oil
if carpet/rug severely clean/wash
Could be ragweed
Change your AC filters.
Cedar fever is only a month or two away. Killed me last year. Schedule a good allergist.
Hopefully since it's been a fairly dry year the cedar isn't as bad.Quote:

Winning combo: Zyrtec ( Generics work fine), Azelastine and Flonase. Problem solved. Good luck to you. Like my doc said do not worry about the cause simply treat the symptoms.
and as noted above; change your filters at home and in your auto too; if not will recirculate junk in the air.
I use the same therapy. Works wonderfully. I get both OTC at Sam's Club for a great price.Quote:
