Thanks! I have talked to my allergist about this because I’m on prescription antihistamines twice a day. I’ll talk to them further. I appreciate your insights!

Thanks so much for your thorough and informative response! I appreciate your insights and the links. I’ll definitely take the time to review.

Thanks! I’m super curious both as an academic and because I have pretty awful allergic rhinitis all year (I know, the jokes write themselves). I’m triple vaxxed but I had just graduated at beginning of pandemic and worked in a service capacity throughout. My son got it and we live in close quarters. There was no isolation. I’ve managed to not catch it (so far). I’m so curious if the curse of severe allergies has potentially provided a benefit in terms of avoiding Covid. Thanks for your response and insights!

I’m curious- if you happen to know, if the olfactory nerve is already inflamed could that potentially impede initial infection as well as transmission to the brain? I ask because some studies have suggested those with allergic rhinitis have lower risks of Covid 19 infection.
