Same idea as immunotherapy shots or sublingual drops.

Whether it's actually local, and if the allergens are actually concentrated enough to make any difference, is a very different question. Set of questions.

Excuse me? Immunology shots are freaking amazing. I've been on them for about 2 years and the difference between last spring and this sptirng is incredible. I no longer need Allegra daily.

I think he meant for honey. The shots are very specifically concentrated lol.

Even then honey has some anti inflammatory effect that can help regardless of the added benefit of bee pollen

OK, I reread the comment and I see that I misunderstood it.

I only did mine for 6 months, but I went from dying every spring to getting a bit sniffly if the pollen count is so high walking outside smells like it. I can't imagine how effective it would have been if I did all 3 years.

Fun fact: you can do it with poison ivy. I knew someone who had it done, and he could rub the stuff on his face with no reaction.
