Here's a tip to stop that sneezing fit in its tracks. Pop into the supermarket and pick up a bottle of 500mg chewable vitamin C tablets.
When you feel the sniffles coming on, chew on a tablet. Vitamin C is a natural anti-histamine, so it will tone down your symptoms for around 15minutes. Then you may need another tablet if you're feeling sniffly again.
***Note: people with kidney disease, pregnant women, and those taking the oral contraceptive pill or medication, should not use this remedy without checking first with their doctor. This remedy is useless for anaphylactic allergic reactions. You should always consult your doctor regarding your health concerns. This blog is not intended to replace qualified professional medical advice. If you ignore this warning, and get sick or die as a result, we'll just chalk it up to the ongoing process of natural selection.***
I'll write more about the benefits of vitamin C in another blog soon.

Always take some vitamin C with your iron supplement (the good quality iron supplements will include about 50mg of C to help absorption).
As an aside, take any zinc supplements away from your iron supplement, as iron and zinc compete for absorption in your gut.
