iowa 0 #1 September 27, 2013 My GF is allergic to most things outdoors, unfortunately the desert is not a good option, she hates the heat. Currently we live in Iowa, the corn is a bitch for her. We're thinking some where in California. Keith ''Always do sober what you said you would do drunk.

faulknerwn 36 #2 September 27, 2013 Definitely not Texas. We have crazy allergies here. Perhaps the desert in Southern California? Or Nevada? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldwomanc6 38 #4 September 27, 2013 Not all desert is hot. That's a myth. Try eastern Washington (not DC ) or other high plains/desert locations. What's she actually allergic to? If she doesn't know exactly what, the rest is a crap shoot. You (or she) could spend the rest of life moving around trying to discover the least uncomfortable location. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rnicks 0 #6 September 27, 2013 Lisa is on to something. I've lived in every region in the US. The only time I didn't have allergy problems, were the few years I lived in Spokane. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 3 #7 September 27, 2013 iowaWe're thinking some where in California. California is not immune to pollen. In fact, there are times of the year when it blows in from hundreds of miles away. Were just now coming into the "Santa Ana Wind" season. It lasts from about the end of September to just a bit after January. They can be pretty horrible for allergies depending on what you're sensitive to.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its weird when you can see the damn yellow green clouds of pollen wafting on the breeze. I mean really .... do you really want a bunch of trees having sex in your nasal passages??? Oh and to the OP... definitely leave man CORN IS EVIL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlyingRhenquest 1 #11 September 27, 2013 Nope, not Denver. I have to take sudafed like they're tic-tacs here in the spring and fall. In the fall, my car will turn yellow (It's NOT yelllow) from the pollen while parked at work. All those horny trees having sex with your lungs... I've heard Arizona, but someone already posted that's a myth. Maybe you could set up for a job on the ISS. Edit: Oh, I think you can get a home forced air system (Furnace/AC) with a HEPA filter. That might be a good option, if somewhat expensive. Actually I might have to look into that when my furnace finally kicks the bucket.I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

airtwardo 6 #14 September 27, 2013 Yo Keith, I was a midwest allergy sufferererer...moved to San Diego after college and totally forgot the meaning of the word! I lived at the beach...fresh fish air, nice ocean breeze - really made quite a difference! I would caution you though, not 'everywhere' in Cally is an allergy 'free zone'...I had a girlfriend back then that lived in Borrego Springs - that's about 22 miles farther down the road than nowhere, in the middle of the desert. Though desert conjures up visions of sand dunes and camels...ain't so in SoCal, plenty of pollen producing scrubs and the like. Visiting her out there had it's good points, and it's bad if ya get my drift. One place ya absolutely DO NOT want to go is here in Texas! Between the pollen so thick they have warnings on the news, to the black mold, the 40lb cockroaches pooping everywhere, the microscopic airborne pollutants from industrial manufacturing, the oil industry burn offs...the air is only slightly better than on Jupiter. ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

melch 0 #17 September 27, 2013 Instead of moving, has your GF considered extensive allergy testing and shots or drops? My brother had severe allergies and started on shots and has never been better. Made a world of difference for him wihtout upending his life...unless of course you are just looking fora reason to move ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackwallace 3 #18 September 27, 2013 I lived in Glenwood Springs, Co for ten years. My allergies never bothered me there. Midwest is the worst place. Fl keys are good too.U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through. The rest are just filler. scr 316 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LuckyMcSwervy 0 #19 September 27, 2013 When I'm in Key West is when I get the least allergy problems. Personally, I think it has something to do with the ocean air and being in the ocean so much. Good luck. Always be kinder than you feel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
