Asthma and Allergies

[Carakraft]

Allergies and Asthma: They often occur together in the Spring and Fall peak allergy season. Since we all live all over the globe, I am curious to hear about pollen levels in your area and what are your biggest allergens 🌼

Mine are the spring grass and mountain cedar.

I live in Dallas, Texas and this week we have the 5th highest pollen count in the U.S.

Thank goodness for my kleenex tissue 🤧

I live in a town called Huddersfield, which is in Northern England. It is situated close to some of the world's last remaining moorland (the Pennines) & has a very damp, windy climate. I aren't 100% sure exactly what pollens I'm allergic to, but I will get days where I'm sneezing non-stop. I can usually predict it funnily enough as my wife, who only really showed any sign of hayfever a few years ago, will usually show symptoms a week or two before me.

My big problem with outdoor allergies is aspergillus, which means I can't do much in the garden other than sit & look at it.

I live in the farming county of Lincolnshire and when rape is in flower its horrible

I know a few people who have terrible trouble with rape pollen. I'm quite lucky in a sense that where I live is just not really suitable for agriculture, so we don't get much in the way of fields of crops. There's a lot of grasses & heathers around, & various wild & domestic flowers. I suspect that when I get symptoms it's likely that it's grass pollen that is the culprit. I know I get a bad reaction to conifers as well (my hands swell up if I touch them), so possibly likewise maybe conifer pollen is a problem.

I'm near Denver and this is the first year that my allergies are starting up this early. We have at least one more snow storm coming, but the weather is nice, but dry. I was diagnosed with asthma about 1 year so, so I'm still learning how to handle the two together. Where do you find information on pollen counts and what is floating around? What is your routine to help control the allergy symptoms?

I have a friend near Houston and she sounded stuffy from allergies the other day.

I live in Michigan and we are just now seeing daffodils and yesterday got covered with 8 inches of snow. My allergies seem to be bad right at the start of the season and then again when the cherry blossoms and other fruit trees start to bloom.

I'm starting to feel a little stuffy nose and dry, asthmatic cough. My daffodils are fully bloomed, the grass is getting green, and other things are blooming. I'm a Spring /Fall allergies. And cats but not dogs.
