Allergies: Portland, Berkley, New Hampshire, New England
I have lived in Portland, OR for almost nine years, and my allergies (mold, yeast, dust, pollen) have worsened. For the last two years, I’ve been unable to work for days or weeks in March due to severe eczema. I need to move–but Colorado, which my doctor recommended, seems TOO dry from what I’ve read on this website. I’m also considering Berkeley, CA, or New England (I’m from NH & didn’t have nearly as much of a problem there). Any thoughts? I haven’t read anything about New England climates here & would love to hear from there especially. — M.N., Oregon
My girlfriend and I had to move from Portland, OR because she had a horrible case of mold poisoning. We moved back to CO and she is getting better. If you’re having problems with mold and yeast, you probably don’t want to move to another humid climate.

Try Tucson, I stayed in Colorado for a while, and it was really dry and irritating. I headed to Tucson and, at least during the winter, my passages were wide open, which was delightful. Also recommend anywhere by the coast. Sometimes that’s the only thing that works.
