Scientists Discover Positive Aspect of Allergies

Okay, not really scientists.  Just me.

The pollen in the air is playing havoc with whatever portions of the body are responsible for me breathing air as opposed to viscous fluids.  I may need gills.

I discovered a side benefit.  I drink green or white tea every morning, sometimes flavored.  This morning it was goji berry and pomegranate flavored.  If you drink these teas while your sinuses are stuffy, there's a pleasant little side effect.  At any point later in the day, when you sneeze or blow your nose, you get a little olfactory hint of fruit.

It's like the bouquet of a fine wine, and it lasts all day.
