@anon763 "I struggled with particularly bad seasonal allergies for years. I even went through tests to determine what plants I was allergic to, to identify treatment options. It turned out it was pretty much all trees and grasses, and ragweed in particular.
Then I moved out of my parents' house and I all but stopped having symptoms, unless I eat raw vegetables. Turns out while I really was allergic to plants in general, it was the cats that did most of it. Now I have to choose between not being able to live with a cat, or going back to that state. It's a brutal decision.
Once you're attached to the pet, it's worth tolerating the allergy, most pets only live a fraction to our lifespan, but they provide a bond worth the price.

@SoloSera "It's deliberate. Pharma companies design the nozzles to make the droplets too large for the dose and to fall unpredictably. There have been more effective ones patented that are just as cheap to manufacture, but it's less profitable."
The only people that seems to be able to use them (at least from what I've noticed) are people who have to use them continuously over a period of time. I've never seen the more effective ones but I simply buy from one of those dollar type stores and don't worry about using too much.
