Captain Malcolm Reynolds Jun 2020 4:15pm, 25 Jun 2020 1,103 posts	0 Captain Malcolm Reynolds I allegedly had hayfever (Lots & lots of sneezing, some dry itchy eyes & throat)for many years, which got worse in the autumn and at night in hot dry weather or cold wet weather, which turned into a wheeze. Turns out, after investigation, I had really mild asthma, the sneezing was an unusual symptom. Started an inhaler & rarely need to use any OTC medication now.
