I hate to say this, but... (Austin: allergy, average, weather)

[CarnivalGal]

I feel cedar. I saw the other allergy post, and I know there is a ton of other stuff floating around, but I am only allergic to cedar (I've been through all the testing). And not only am I allergic to cedar, the doctor bestowed me with the honor of having one of the strongest reactions he's ever seen.

I know it's only early November, but I feel it. I think that, thanks to the rain, this is going to be a really bad year for cedar.

You know, yesterday I felt something "extra" in the air as my Zrytec made less of a dent, so to speak. You're absolutely right, cedar (juniper) is present:

Don't know how or why, but small levels are beginning to register.... They generally say that when they are able to measure low levels in the air that the official count reported tends to be lower than it actually IS because it's harder to capture a real average as it ebbs and flows throughout the day and the allergen starts to establish itself.

Edit: You know, I think this is Red Berry Juniper not Mountain Juniper, at least that's what they say in the clip. Maybe you're sensitive to that one too? I'm pretty much susceptible to all of it
