don't try this at home

Today I learned that if I take my trees, grasses, and weeds antigen before I leave, I can ride hard for about half an hour before I get into a lot of trouble with the pollen and have to stop on the side of the trail. I was expecting something like that, so I brought a second shot. I had to wait a couple of minutes for it to take effect, but I ended up having a pretty good ride.

I really don't think this application is exactly what my doctor had in mind for desensitization/neutralization shots, but I got to go for a ride.
