Iowa vs. Allergies? (home, move, summer)

[jgoody123]

What are the allergies like there in Iowa? Managable?

I have problems with pollen in the spring and ragweed in late summer. It is fairly windy here, and that doesn't help much. I wouldn't call it unbearable, but if you are sensitive to pollen or ragweed, you will notice it.

Jgoody,

My hubby who is already in Iowa ahead of us in our move from Arizona says his allergies were completely gone this year once in Iowa for the first time in 14 years.

Now, he may have diffferent things that trigger his than yours but it was one benefit of the move he didn't anticipate. When he's come home to visit they come back and when he gets bac to Iowa they go away for whatever that is worth.

I all depends. Fall it the worst because of the soybean harvest while my daughter's are the worst in the summer and my son's are bad in the spring. it depends. not to mention I did have really bad allergies until after I was 18 and they kept getting worse with each child. Take Zyrtec. We have so much plant life here that it is hard to decide what causes the allergies without a test.
