Any tips for dealing with hayfever in Japan? The over-the-counter claritin does... zero. I was hoping it might pass in a week or so, but I remain a goopy mess.

I could... visit the doctor... but that seems like a lot of hassle compared to just asking everyone on mastodon 😉

(Japan medicine tends to be different brands, and often weaker, than the overseas counterpart. I know what I could get in the UK or US, but unsure if there's anything reasonably effective in Japan.)

@elizabethtasker The pollen masks work really well in Japan. I get seasonal allergies but was happy to be able to use something other than drugs. I seem to remember they even had discreet filters you could put up your nose!

@elizabethtasker N95 masks work probably even better but the pollen ones are super easy to breath in

@elizabethtasker Yamamoto makes some N95 masks, but they might be hard to find. Anything with a head strap instead of ear loops usually fit a lot better, but whatever works for you. I see the pollen mask are often just fabric, probably not so good
