Should not experiment

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for posting your query on XXXXXXX

I will like to know the list of triggers to your allergies. If you are also allergic to pollen in the air, then you may have severe allergic reaction to bee pollen as well, thus you want to stay away from it.

Also it has not been documented as effective for allergies. There are other known side-effects like stomach ache, diarrhea, throat pain etc. The claims that have been made are not backed by enough research.

In my personal opinion, I will recommend you to stay away from experimenting these medicines in the hope of improving health.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
