I was also her in March to April. My allergies have been terrible. I am from S. Florida and am allergic to dust mites, molds, and the maleuluca tree (a gum tree). My allergy symptoms are worse in Taos than back home. For the time periods above, is it the juniper pollen? Of course, it is drier and dustier here too. We open the windows (no A/C). Will an air purifier plus closing windows help? Love this place, but the allergies.... Many Thanks, Tess I am in Taos, NM for the next few weeks. I was also her in March to April.

When it is juniper pollinates, they are laden and explode with a cloud of pollen as any angiosperm does. In my neck of the woods Southwestern NM at 6ooft, the juniper season is the talk of the town: stuffy, itchy eyes,nose and sinuses; asthma attacks, and coughs. We don't have cedar at this elevation so I cannot comment. Juniper pollen is a terrible allergen.
