California with multiple allergies
I live in Bakersfield, Ca. The Doc did a allergy test on me and concluded that I had severe reaction to the following: outdoor mold; house dust mite; alfalfa, sage, pig weed, lamb quater; ceder tree,elm tree, privet tree; grasses like bermuda, rye, fescue, kentucky blue. If I was to relocate, what’s the best place? — DG, California
House dust mites will be everywhere. Mold counts will be higher in humid climates, but mold can grow anywhere there is moisture. Most grasses cross-react with each other, so that if you are allergic to one, you are often allergic to most of them. There is not as much cross-reactivity with trees and weeds as with grasses.
No one can tell you an absolute best place for you, but perhaps someone will have suggestions. Research this site to see what has worked for others. You should always visit locations you are interested in, and spend time in each season there, to see how you are affected.
