Does eating raw local honey actually help with allergies?

  • Ben Shifman, a lifelong pollen allergy sufferer from Raleigh, experienced a severe allergic reaction during a March dinner in Carrboro when pollen coated outdoor surfaces extensively.
  • This event occurred amid an intense pollen season in North Carolina, driven by warmer temperatures and a diverse plant ecosystem that extends pollen exposure earlier and longer than before.
  • Experts explain that pollen allergies result from immune responses to proteins on smaller pollen molecules like oak, while larger pine pollen causes fewer symptoms despite visual abundance.
  • About 25% of U.S. Adults suffer seasonal allergies, with symptoms ranging from congestion to wheezing, and medical advice emphasizes minimizing pollen exposure and using 24-hour antihistamines for relief.
  • The ongoing longer and more intense pollen seasons suggest rising allergy challenges, particularly in southern states like North Carolina, prompting recommendations for early medication and reduced outdoor exposure.
