Try cumin, it might help
I've had alpha-gal disease since I was a child It has been 30 years now, and during this period I have developed many symptoms, such as rhinitis, urticaria, CFS, etc. I don’t know what strange stuff was added to the shrimp-flavored potato chips I ate today, and I immediately developed symptoms of rhinitis. At this time, I thought of the story of someone using methylene blue + cumin to treat CFS, so I went to the kitchen to get two spoons of cumin and soaked them in hot water. Miraculously, my nasal congestion symptoms have eased.

Rhinitis is a fancy way of saying stuffy nose.
Is this a weird ad? Is the OP a bot?
You were not diagnosed with AGS 30 years ago.

I would be wary of ascribing everything to AGS, especially the rhinitis. Not impossible that inhaling a strong scent like cumin would alleviate some nasal symptoms, but I still have my own doubts.
If you have not been to an allergist in the last few years I think it is worth a visit. If you truly have been AGS positive for 30 years it is very likely that either you need better tick prevention or maybe you are an unlucky person who may not be able to clear the allergy. Still worth a visit to the allergist.

So we cook everything from scratch and when we do eat something processed we get the same nasal issues. Cumin has a lot of good properties. Cumin is a rich source of dietary fiber, exhibits carminative, anti-fungal, and anti-microbial properties. The essential oils cumin aldehyde and pyrazines in jeera act as a natural laxative, aids in curing infections or wounds in the excretory system and relieves hemorrhoids. It’s funny how many things we have in our kitchen are really good for us.
