Damned dagweed is bad out here too. Hopefully the mold counts in WPA aren't too bad though. I don't want to live in another area where I have to deal with high mold counts frequently during the course of an average year.

Mold is always my problem, 24/7/365 (and dust and dust mites, fun).

I guess you didn't read the entire thread. The mold is worse than the ragweed here.

My son is allergic to mold, ragweed, trees, grass, cats, dust mites and probably himself.

Mold is the worst though - as someone else said it's year round potentially - the allergy that keeps on giving. Rain is good in that is washes the pollen out of the air, but then we have a bounce back on the mold front. I hate fall. (I like it, but I don't like what it does to him).

Nope. Saw the 1st post and then responded. Bummer.

There is hope, though. As a kid I tested positive for trees and ragweed, but more recently (although about 10 years ago now) I did not test positive for those. I did go through a couple courses of shots over the years. The shots I did as an adult for the remaining dust mites and mold didn't seem to have any effect.

^^^I'll have to look into some natural remedies too. I've been able to effectively neutralize one sinus problem by natural means.

It seemed particularly bad this year for both spring and fall. I never get more than a few sneezes but this past spring I thought I'd go crazy with all the allergy symptoms I got, esp. ringing in my ears.

Since fall started, I started sneezing again and my darn ears are buzzing like crazy. I hope this doesn't happen next year too

^^^That buzzing in your ears is the sound cannons being utilized by the G20 military and police squads.

Lol! Probably. And since I live near the airport and get to hear all the G-20 people coming in and out and flying overhead, that is most likely part of it too.
