bandanas are good to have along in case it gets dusty. I swear by using saline sinus rinses too. Last year I did one at least morning and night. Would have done it more often but we were too effing far from Centeroo.

I have terrible pollen allergies, but they have never been all that bad at bonnaroo. The grass and dust are the things that get me there. I am not sure what they spray on that grass, but it is the itchiest grass on the planet. So a bandanna and maybe some saline spray to blow out the nose dust (I wish I would've done that last year). Maybe something in case of grass rash. Otherwise, it should be fine.

I don't think pollen can survive at Bonnaroo.
But like everyone else is saying, the dust is horrible. Last year I kept a bandana around my neck and pulled it up to my face when it got too dusty! But the best part about the bandana is that you can soak it at the water fountain and it'll keep you nice and cool.
Bonnaroo allergies have never really bothered me. I wear a bandana on my face if the dust gets kicked up really bad. I do take Afrin with me just in case of congestion. Due to some crazy new allergy that I have been experiencing, I will also take Zyrtec with me as well. Be prepared and take something for allergies with you and if you don't need it fine but you will have it just in case. Good luck and best of roo!

i always bring allegra. no other medications work for me. although, for some reason i usually find myself either not needing it or im to preoccupied to worry about it.
I have REALLY bad pollen allergies and I've never once in 3 Roo's had a problem with allergies while I'm there. My buddy did have a reaction to either the grass or the pesticides in the grass and got a wicked bad case of Bonnarash in '10, but then was completely fine in '11.
But yes, if pollen is your weakness, I feel you should be A-OK come Roo time in Manchester.
EDIT: I still am a firm believer of being prepared for anything and everything, so I would still bring your allergy meds and possibly a nasal spray, just in case.

Yeah, the dust always gives me a week's worth of some bonnaflu /lung or some upper-respiratory problem. I'm purchasing a second neti pot specifically for roo. Sure hope it works, because last year's mess turned into an infection.
