I used to have post-nasal drip and severe dry eyes in Maryland. I think a lot depends not only on the climate but the home you live in. Is it older, new? If you are allergic to grass/trees, don't move into a home near them. Also, buy an air purifier for your home. Goodluck everyone, I feel for you! I live in York, PA and my allergies are OKAY!

That info was most helpful. And for everyone else, thanks I will not be moving to Texas! I live near OC and our daughter (4yr.) suffers from eczema terribly. We also have tried everything - eastern, western, steroidal, diet, teas, creams...never ending list it seems. We now think it may be time to move, but where? Does anyone know anything about Seattle, WA? Thank you Ame of 3-24-09. That info was most helpful. And for everyone else, thanks I will not be moving to Texas!

Worse than Texas climate. We are going back to the desert. Trees, grass, mold and mildew are the problem. My husband also has psorias which is worse here. I have developed arthritis due to the cold, wet climate in the winter. Tennessee is not a place to live if you have allergies. Just ask the doctors here.

No allergies or asthma. Moved to Dallas, Texas at 17 years old, and within 6 months I developed severe allergies, and pollyps. I have been sick every year the entire time I have lived here, with 1 exception: I took massive doses of vitamins and echinachea, and had a great season just that one year. I lived in Los Angeles for 2 years, and allergies were definitely better, which is odd because of the fires, and pollution. Anyway, Dallas is literally ruining my life. I have had sinus surgeries, and been loaded up with steroids. I HATE living like this. Also, cleared my daughter's excema by cutting way back on the amount of laundry soap.

My daughters have been having severe aczema and skin problems since they were 4 months old. Many kids and adults have the same problems in this so called San Gabriel Valley area, covering the following cities: El Monte, Rosemead, San Gabriel, Baldwin Park, Hacienda Height - La Puente, Rowland Heights, Walnut, Diamond Bar Chino. Some doctors call this area Walnut Center. After 5 years of fighting wiht my daughter's aczema with all the medicines (eastern and western, you name it we have it) I gave it up. Felt desparate and hopeless I sent all my kids back to Shenyang City, China (north part of China, north of Beijing). 90% of the symptoms were gone after 4 months. She could sleep through the night, eat properly and was as happy as any other kids. Last month my kids came back to Hacienda Heights, CA. After 2 weeks all the symptoms came back (itchy in nose, eyes and all over the body, scratch and bleed). I sent them back to China again. Now I'm looking for a better place to live. For her, I would look for a place not dry, not wet, not cold, not hot, less UV, less pollen level and less allergy cause. Still searching. If you consider moving to Los Angeles area, move to somewhere along the coast, but 80 miles north of Los Angeles. I've talked to many people. Anywhere in Santa Barbara county is good (if you can afford the housing). We’ve lived in Hacienda Heights, California, 20 miles east of Los Angeles.

Allergies are so severe that I have been missing about 3 or 4 days per month of work. Does anyone know of an area that does not have Fungus, Bermuda or Johnson Grass, Marsh elder, Pigweed, Ragweed, Cedar, Cottonseed, Maple or Pine Trees? Yes, I have tons of food allergies also. I grew up here and was always outdoors. I have never had problems this bad before. I just want to breathe and to be able to enjoy being outside. Any suggestions of where I could live other than in a bubble would be greatly appreciated. Penny Currently live in Houston, TX.
