Is the theory that the fat soaks up any pollen in the mouth?
If so, I'm carrying a tub of lard with me everywhere!
Arvy.-
Honestly I couldn’t tell you, was just advice from the old heads when I joined the industry. It was a cycle of ‘drink milk, work for a couple of hours, cough/spit your guts up, then repeat’ it was the difference between being able to work(just) and it be completely unbearable. It kinda feels like you line your throat and when it’s saturated with pollen you just have to gack it all up and start over.
I used to wear a painters mask when it was really bad but then you struggle as your airflow is restricted.Basically planes are just cunts.

Radio said there’s a shortage of allergy medication at the moment :/
Doesn’t help the eyes but I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - milk(or non-dairy alt) definitely helps with the sore throat and gackiness of a day climbing/chipping Plane trees. It’s not a guarantee and you cough up some proper grim stuff at the end of the day but used to make the day bearable.
I used to wear flexible Bollè safety specs with a rubber gasket in a vague attempt to protect my eyes.
