Early fall allergies in your area

What are common allergies for this time of year? My husband and I have been sneezing last few days. – submitted by Margaret, Sedona, AZ

Note from Lois (AllergyNurse): Ragweed, of course, tops the list as the #1 fall allegren worldwide. Mold from rotting leaves and hay, along with grass pollen still haning on from summer in some areas, stir the mix. Fall adds a special punch of tree pollen to the potpourri, and certain foods trigger fall allergies (see my August 6, 2010, post).

Besides ragweed, what is the most prominent fall allergen in your area right now?

Allergies in Harford county, is the Southwest better?

I live in Harford County, in Northern Maryland, and the allergies here are awful. Mold, dust mites, grass and tree pollen make for a year-round allergy season.I’m thinking of moving to the southwest. I have visited New Mexico and Arizona during their allergy seasons and had no problems with breathing at all – and I was outside camping most of the time.. I’ve read that these states have their “own” allergy problems, but I did not encounter them where I was camping. I realize, however, that my experience was just a few weeks at a time, so i don’t know the whole story about allergies in the SW.

Could anyone here share their experiences or advise me where to go for more information? – Roy, Maryland

We need to move from Ohio. I am allergic to dust mites, trees that are grown in Ohio and the Midwest, and grass. My wife is allergic to molds. I can not even take my 5 year old son outside without getting Bhronchitis this year. We are looking at moving to either Arizonia, Southern California, Colorado or Nevada. Which place would be best? I lived in NW Ohio and Central Ohio except for 5 years in Memphis. My allergies have always been bad in Ohio. My allergies were a little better in Memphis. — Rick, Ohio

Arizona valley fever fungus or Boston or San Diego

Born and raised in Boston with little allergy problems as a kid. After college I moved to Arizona and have been here for 10years. Allergies began after 2yrs and have gotten worse each year. Recently I was diagnosed with asthma after 2 months of serious breathing issues. Docs are telling me to move to San Diego or Orange County Ca. for relief. Polluted dry air, pollen, and year round construction have made Az a tough place to live for allergy sufferers. Also we now have to deal with valley fever which is a fungus that comes from the ground soil. Looking forward to moving sometime before the end of the year. Arizona is beautiful and I would stay if asthma wasn’t the serious problem its become for me. Good luck to anyone who wants to take a chance here. You may find relief at first but it will be short lived. — Kevin, Arizona

Allergy relief in Arizona, but back to Oahu, Hawaii?

Looking for insight, and a little bit of hope. I grew up on Oahu and when I was about 7 I started experiencing allergic reactions. I developed asthma and everything went downhill from there. First I developed really bad bronchitis and this turned into pneumonia. We moved to Yuma, AZ when I was nine…a little extreme I think, but I’ve lived all over Arizona, including mountainous and forested Flagstaff, and have had very little if any problems.

Arizona can be beautiful, but I’m having difficulties really loving the desert region. I really miss the ocean and wetter climates. I tried Long Island, NY but developed two really bad cases of bronchitis, one after another, during the Fall.

Well, I’m now 25, engaged, and wanting to show the places I held dear in my heart as a child to my fiance. So we want to have a “premoon”, our wedding, and our honeymoon in the Hawaiian islands. But, I’m really concerned about how I’ll handle it health-wise. My main allergies are to pollens. I seem to be okay with orchids & roses, but not lillies (which are my favorite!). I don’t think molds are a real problem, but I’m hoping to see a doctor and try to find out specifically. Any other suggestions? Thank you all for any input! — Summer, Arizona

Best climates for mold allergy?

I was raised in southern New Jersey and always had sinus trouble. It all went away when I moved to Long Beach, CA. When I moved to Phoenix and Prescot, AZ I had a mild problem as there are 2 rainy seasons and it gets humid in the summer when it rains. Six years ago, we moved to Macon, GA and I have been dying ever since. I have since been tested for allergies and am allergic to molds and mildrew.

I’ve got to move to find some relief. Where can I move to find some relief?? – Sandra, Georgia
