Hey, if you've never been allergic to anything but you've always wanted to know what it feels like to have a constant ball of phlegm looming in your throat, or a throbbing headache and the sniffles, move to the D.C. area in spring. You'll also get to experience other fun things like swollen tonsils, a hacking cough, and a film of green pollen that covers your car.
The azaleas, though, are beautiful.
Ugh, GOD, the pollen. We had a 90-degree heat wave here a few weeks ago for like, a week, and suddenly, pollen was EVERYWHERE. My Swiffer just couldn't keep up! Now it's just dust that the air carries in. I can handle that.
ugh it's full on yellow dust here too, these are the days I want to strangle my family with all their hacking snorting and sneezing
You could always move up where we are - still no leaves on the trees, hardly anything flowering, so no pollen. But then you'd probably be as bored as we are.
I don't have allergies, but I have the adult acne something awful. My skin was perfect in upstate NY. I was about to buy that stuff Jessica Simpson sells on late night tv, when I compared notes with other people who recently moved to Delaware. The water and air here wreaks havoc on your skin. Much of it is due to the nearby chicken plants. Thank you, factory farming!
No thanks. I have enough issues with allergies where I am. I take allergy medicine every day and it usually takes care of things, but last week I woke up to not swollen tonsils, but a swollen uvula. As if the thing hanging out at the back of your throat isn't bad enough, it was swollen to the point that I was a little freaked out. It was nothing but allergies, and it went away the next day, but it was highly disturbing.
