The simple answer is that it is better to eat the honey from the area you live in locally NOW. <br /><br />This is for two reasons, one, that you live there and are going to need to adapt to the local flora at some point and two, by ingesting the pollen in the honey from your new local area, you are ensuring your body can adapt to the area's pollen more quickly. Pollen in its raw airborne state is quite tough and can be an irritant, whereas honey transmits the same pollen but in far less irritating shapes and sizes. This means that you can adjust to the effect of the pollen from that area much more quickly and with no adverse effects. A much better alternative than rocking up, turning bright red and spotty and sneezing the place down!David Bloomfieldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-958116130980751026.post-6195051213517366632011-12-18T12:12:08.693-05:002011-12-18T12:12:08.693-05:00Great question!

My understanding of this is that it is the nature of the pollen you're ingesting rather than the stuff you were exposed to growing up, so you should buy local to wherever you are living. I'll let David catch this one for a real answer though!Hevshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03574494674556131437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-958116130980751026.post-83080242215011399312011-12-14T10:33:00.890-05:002011-12-14T10:33:00.890-05:00Very informative!

Just wondering with the buy local thing; what happens if you live away from where you were born / grew up? <br /><br />I guess my question is, is the ability of the honey to impact on your hay fever related to the type (geographically) of pollen you are ingesting, or is it down to your reactions based on your immune system and how it has learnt to over react based on the pollens it encountered as you grew up?<br /><br />Hope that makes sense!Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11722159477947581259noreply@blogger.com
