So last year, when we spent our first summer on the farm, Jared wheezed and his skin looked like a pomegranate (red, white, and bumpy). For the first week, I was really worried and was on the fence on getting him to urgent care. The pollen and hay was wreaking havoc with his immune system. But after the first week, he wheezed less and less, and his skin ever so slowly began to clear.
I know immunotherapy can be controversial, but anecdotally, I have noticed that it does seem to yield results. So upon our return to the farm this summer, I noticed that Jared started flaring up again. So, we started him mowing the lawn for a few minutes a day and slowly incremented his exposure to the outdoors. That plus some zyrtec seems to be doing the trick!
