Offshore breeze always helps
I have had asthma/allergies since an infant. I have lived in Oak Harbor & Tacoma Washington; Tucson Az; Va Beach, Va; and now SD, Ca. Living where there is an offshore breeze always helps to keep the air clean & easier to breathe. We now have no carpeting, and a air cleaner in each rm; perhaps this makes a big difference as well. — MT, San Diego
Lois,
I just read your comment about having asthma/allergies and both of my kids do to. Since we have moved from Chicago to Florida they have been so much better. They are on only one medicine each and we didn’t get the carpeting either. My daughter is allergic to cat & dog dander, dust mites & outdoor allergies. My son Joshua (with the amblyopia) is allergic to peanuts, cat and dog dander, dust mites and outdoor allergens. We also keep him away from tree nuts as a precaution. Nice to see you are doing this also. You are a lovely woman and you are helping out so many people with this. Take care.

Thanks, for sharing about your children’s experience with allergies and climate, Kelly. Actually it is MT from California that wrote the comment about having allergies/asthma. But I really appreciate your encouragement and kind words. Helping others with allergies is my job since I’m an allergy nurse. But I get to do it just for fun here, and that’s pretty cool.

Lois,
Oh! I just went and read the underneath part of the paragraph. I though it was you. LOL!

It seems unlikely that there are no studies statistically correlating the incidence of various allergies with specific venues. What is the percentage of asthma suffers among long-term residents of Palm Springs versus, say, Jacksonville? Has no one conducted separated-twin studies comparing two locales? Etc. The answers might indeed lie in mass data. Where is it?

I live about 100 miles sw of Dallas, Texas and I have a terrible time with asthma and allergies. I have been to the ER 22 times in 2 1/2 years, and actually have been admitted about 14 times for at least 1 night. I need to move somewhere, and I’ve heard good things about San Diego, and that the off-shore breezes really helps. Thank you for your information. But is it possible to find affordable apartments out there? Everything seems so high, but I guess it would be worth it if moving out there would help me.
