I'm allergic to it.

Honey...
Eat lots of local honey. That helps the body get used to it. Use rapeseed oil in cooking.

I used to be horrendously allergic to the stuff. Couldn't even drive past a field without ending up streaming in allergic tears. Had to drive with anti-histamine tablets always to hand.

The good news is, 10 years later and I am fine. Can stand in a field now without trouble. So the allergy will go away.

I've heard the honey thing, too.
I suspect it's an old wive's tale, but I like honey, so have been trying it anyway. The oil is a staple in my cooking, so that's neither here nor there.
My top tip for hayfever sufferers, is to find an anti-histamine that works for you, and keep yourself dosed up from the first hint of spring

I just sneeze for a while
and then it passes. Fun to tell people you're sneezing because of the rape though...
