THIS is the sneeze season. Those who suffer from hay-fever spend a few weeks, or at worst months, struggling with sneezes and sore eyes. However, imagine what it would be like to sneeze every day for 35 years.
Such was the fate of Patrick Webster, who consulted assorted doctors to no effect. One doctor even told Mr Webster that he was allergic to himself. Instead, three simple tests from York Nutritional Laboratory showed that he was 'moderately' allergic to oats and egg yolk.
So out went the seemingly healthy morning muesli, ushering in a sneeze-free life.
