Pollen barrier stick

Early spring when Sugi and Hinoki pollen rage. Various hay fever prevention items are lined up in drug stores.

This time, I was interested in the "pollen barrier stick" of the "paint on mask" type. This is a new product released in December 2018. As a patient with hay fever, I tried it with the thought of squirming in the straw.

It looks like a lipstick. Apply 1 to 2 mm of the drug and lightly apply 4 to 5 cm to the outside of the mask near the nose. The drug is colorless and there is no change in the appearance of the mask.

The drug contains a scent component extracted from Todomatsu in Hokkaido. Research results have been reported that this Abies sachalinensis component coats Sugi pollen and reduces the movement of allergens.

There is no irritation, just a refreshing scent through the mask. It's an important effect, but honestly it may be hard to feel dramatically because it can only be used with a mask on. However, it has a refreshing scent and feels more nasal than when not in use.

Repainting is required about every 4 hours. If you apply it 4 times a day, you can use it for about 45 days. The operation method of repainting before going out seems to be good.

The purchase price is less than 1,000 yen. If you want to alleviate the symptoms of hay fever by all means, you can try it.
