Title: Why do I get so sleepy in allergy season?
Post by: thedoc on 21/04/2015 18:23:51

Why do I get sleepy in allergy season? It happens to me when the snow melts. It happens even worse in spring when, i guess, trees and weeds release pollen. The effect is real. Why? I’ve read that a histamine might be involved, but that doesn’t explain much.
