Hi fellow hackers,

I just came back from USA this early morning (to Tokyo) and I seem to
be getting sick and it seems like allergy, similar to kafunsho, but
I'll need a few more hours before I know. My wife and kid had similar
symptoms from 2-3 days ago (throat problems, eye problems, etc.)

I looked a few websites, but nothing shows info, they say polen season
is over... There was one site showing alert levels:
http://www.accuweather.com/en/jp/tokyo/226396/allergies/226396#
But no background info on why.

Does anybody know anything, before we run to the doctor tomorrow?
Does anyone have similar symptoms suddenly started a few days ago?

Kalin.

she is prone to some sort of allergy on season change...
she was almost ok yesterday and seems ok today.

If it is not allergy,
do your kids visit a kindergarten?
If so, ask there... they know pretty well what kind of diseases are
spreading at the moment among their members ;)

Autumn is usually ragweed season.  I was stuffy all night.  My antihistamine fixed it right up.

I was the opposite:

Itchy eyes and runny nose the whole time I was in the US. Cleared right up
as soon as I got back (last monday.)

Thank you all for the input.

I had no idea that ragweed is such an allergen...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragweed#Ragweed_pollen_as_an_allergen

In Japan, apparently it is #3 (called butakusa):
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%96%E3%82%BF%E3%82%AF%E3%82%B5#.E7...

This year and last I was happy to get through without any symptoms in
the spring, but my throat is killing me now.

Some data:

Kalin.

The ragweed is really terrible this year.  I wake up most mornings
with an itchy throat, clears up usually within a couple hours after I
have eaten food and drank something (no not wine (~_^)).  My
chiropractor said he use to have the same problem back in the states,
he just took a lot of Vitamin C and it doesn't bother him so much
anymore.

Uhh.. yeah. Truly I am.
I kid you not: I *DO* have an allergy to sunshine.
No.. Its not my "goth sadnesskillmeiwanttobeavampire" BS.

Living in AZ was brutal. EVERY time I went out into the sun I'd sneeze
three times.
Without fail.
Every day.
For 15 years.

People tend not to believe me.. until we'd hang out at lunch every day at
work.
"Jeez dude.. every day this week you sneezed on the way to lunch."
"um dellingh-u I hab a sun awer-ji"

Its actually on my list of reasons why I love living in Tokyo.

Tall buildings = rare direct sunlight
Even still... if a good blast of sun hits my fast.. sneeze fit.

It's called "Photonic Sneeze Reflex" or Sun Sneezing.

I have to sneeze six times in a row after lunch/dinner...
almost 80% of the time and ALWAYS six times in a row...
Checked for all kind of food allergies but (knock on wood) I am allergy free.
So if you are a weirdo... well, we could have our own exclusive club...

Hi All,

I can confirm that theses days are not the worst but clearly not the easiest
for the allergic people in Tokyo. My wife suffered on Saturday's morning but
now is ok. I feel some uncomftabitily in my eyes and throat too for several
days for the first time in my life.

Re ragweed, I have just read that Mugwort is a perennial plant that is a
member of the daisy family and a relative of ragweed. And just in case you
didn't know Mugwort in Russian language is Chernobyl. What a coincidence!

Regards,
Yura

OMG THANK YOU. Seriously.
All this time I just thought I was broken.

For me its a combo of the light, and my face shriveling up until my eyes adjust.
Ive found it more likely to happen in warm or hot light than cold also.

Walking into a bright airconditioned room.. sometime but not always.
