My Mayo doctors don't question my listing cinammin only kind of laugh about it with me. So many products have it so kind of hard to stay away from it. My wife loves cinanamin but when she buys a product I can smell it immediately and start coughing, headache, sore throat, sinus irritation.

I have another allergy to a medicine. When I took it I have every serious side affect listed. So Mayo doctor changed the prescription and listed it as an allergy.

I have tremendous issuse with sinuses, sneezing, coughing at times. My PCP says he sees a lot of patient with these symptoms caused by pine allergies. I live in Florida when the most abundant tree is pine trees. You can imagine how much we are exposed to pine pollen. Problem is when you have (according to my PCP) allergy testing at Mayo Jacksonville they do not test for pine pollen.

Where I live in Jacksonville area you can see the pine tree pollen on everything. It cakes up on your mailbox, on top of your car. When the wind blows hard that is when everyone who is allergic to it really suffers.

I am allergic to mesquite pollen, which is abundant here. My best helps are a mask (just the cheap kind) on windy days, a HEPA air filter in the house and keeping it closed during heavy pollen season, which is about 6 weeks, and an antihistamine.

I take it more seriously than some because I have lung conditions that are aggravated when my body releases a lot of histamine. My brother has actually been hospitalized due to severe reactions to some pollens.
