I've been trying to figure out what I'm so allergic to here since less trees/grass grow, and it has to be the dust - especially at with the overpopulation and the high construction rates - your posts confirm what I've suspected was true. Plus, this dry air after growing up in extreme humidity is CRAZY - I'm tired a lot and having to constantly consume water to keep my throat from feeling crazy dry. So far I'm really not a fan of Phoenix weather - of course I couldn't have picked a worse time to move - right at the start of summer. Oh well, here goes nothing....

I live in central Phoenix and have had progressively worse allergies each year, now settled in bronchiae. It may be helpful to allergy sufferers thinking of coming to know that Phoenix is in a valley and is extremely dusty, also that whatever gets in the air (construction dust, et al.) in a valley does not leave of its own accord. It's my feeling (unconfirmed) that a dry dusty climate provokes allergic symptoms over time -- there is grit in the air and you're breathing it in. My own thoughts: look for a moderate climate, while trying to avoid extreme humidity. Where is this place? :-) I can only second Kristen’s comment.
