Do your allergies clear up when you are out at sea?

[GloBug]

For the first time in years, I'm having to deal with allergies. My last one was way before I started cruising, so I'm wondering if being out at sea helps?

Historically, I have much difficulty with seasonal allergies and I have found that I get some relief while at sea.
I must say however, that symptoms do not totally abate; dunno why cuz there ain't no pollen (the primary source of my allergies) at sea. I suppose that 3000 passengers boarding each week bring a lot of allergens on board with themselves.

Well, until this last cruise I would have said yes...but, come to find out I was sleeping on feather pillows. I was a mess by Thurs of the first week and had to visit the doctor for a shot, antibiotics, inhaler and allergy meds. Our room stewardess changed our pillows out that day to foam ones.

But, normally, my allergies are better, non-existent, while at the seashore or at sea.

.........99% of the time Marks' disappear too.

.....mine not so much..the flowers, pollen etc on the islands when we are in The Caribbean..can play havoc with mine..but the At Sea Days- I'm golden!!!!!!!!!

When we sailed to Hawaii I stopped taking my meds in the middle of the Pacific only to have them reappear with avengance!

Logic would dictate that allegories should clear up while out at sea. However, in my case they do not (so maybe I'm not logical).

Yes.............
Clear up to my nose..

So it's a hit or miss, it seems. And since I, and my doctors, don't know what I'm allergic to, I'll just pack my spray and hope for the best.
