Bless you, Hi Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 With hay fever season upon us, many in Japan are wearing badges saying "I have hay fever" with cute sneeze illustrations on them when out in public to put others around them at ease because of the pandemic. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/news/coronavirus-hay-fever-badges-japan/ https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2020/03/11/national/science-health/badges-coronavirus/ Link to comment
Klingon Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 makes sense I think for them to have a way of identifying that their harmless and not sick with the virus. personally though I think the people who where treating them badly, that made/makes them want the tags where probly a******s towards them before the virus stuff started and they are'nt gonna stop being a*******s just because of they have tags showing it's only allergies. their most likely still gonna be a******s to the allergy sufferers.

peach_princess Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 A germaphobe here 👋 While I'm trying to be nice to everybody, I can't help it but move as far as possible from a person who coughs/sneezes/looks sick (I know, ironic considering my fetish). I think these badges are really cool, because they would make me feel at ease and not want to run away from a coughing person or give them a wide-eyed look of fear. Link to comment
Sneezingnonstop Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I honestly should look for a tag like this, people give me plenty of looks when I’m struggling with my hayfever/allergies and I promise them I dont have CoVID but some people dont exactly believe me, which is still fair but still difficult😅🤧 Link to comment

But people in general seem to only be looking out for symptoms similar to a common cold. Even here in NY, I've seen people move away from someone who just sneezed, even if they're wearing a mask.

sneezomania Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 This is a cool idea. Does anybody know whether there are badges like that in other countries than Japan? In Germany I didn't spot something like that. Link to comment
Roza Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Hahaha oh my god, I would so shy away from these people! 😂 Link to comment

I kind of looked, but have only seen badges sold online for things like food allergies or carrying an inhaler. Hopefully the idea spreads tho! Link to comment
