Gorse Fox asked yesterday "Hay fever... what's the point?"

Today, research provides an answer. The Daily Record reports that 30 minutes of passionate kissing "may alleviate allergic responses."
They found a 30-minute snog could dampen the body's allergic reaction to pollen.

Test showed it relaxed the body and reduced production of histamine - a chemical cell given out in response to allergens.

Now as a hay fever sufferer, the Gorse Fox commends this research and will go forth and seek relief at every opportunity.

However, as one has to think of the non-sufferer who may be involved in the cure, and the rather unfortunate sight of a a sufferer approaching, eyes streaming and puffy, nose streaming, and blasting huge sneezing fits into the atmosphere.... No! All in all, GF suspects this may not work out!
