That means, at least to live in a place for five years. I just wonder where one can be tested for all the allergens in the US in advance ,so one will be able to decide where to re- locate to.

Stress and what you eat has more to do with your symptoms than you might imagine. Google which foods produce mucus. I found that chocolate brings on a waterfall of mucus, almost instantly. Therefore you should change your diet as well as clean with a damp cotton rag daily. Wrap your mattress in a cover designed to reduce dust mites. Get a very good air cleaner for the space in which you sleep and spend most of your time. Drop sugared foods and drinks, replace with water until you get your breathing under control better. Then add sugar very sparingly on occasion. Alaska may not have the same plants, but they might have more mold than you are accustomed to when the place starts thawing out. So....you should live in a selected option for a month in 4 seasons before you actually buy....if it is possible. Google "best places to live with asthma" and you may be pleasantly surprised to find many lovely places...such as the high desert, southern California and Honolulu. I found relief in Paris France for 3.5 years, then relief again when I moved to the NE corner of Illinois until recently. This is the third winter with allergy and asthma symptoms, so I'm looking to relocate again. I think you can find relief in a new location -- for awhile. Manpower is a great option to help you try out places to live well permanently. If you work for them full-time, I have heard that you can work in any city worldwide in which they have an office and job. Nanotechnology may be a challenge, but the skills could be transferred to something related. Best of love and luck to you in your quest for optimum health.

I've read on this website that Orange County is a good place. I live in the Ventura County/Oxnard area, and my allergies have gotten progressively worst over the last 3 years.
