The Histamine Handbook: Understanding Your Body’s Alarm System For about two weeks now, patients have been complaining of sinus issues. This is not the flu/head cold that hit us before Christmas and lasted forever, but the first signs of our lovely pollen season showing up. As I drive down the road, I am seeing lots […]
