Sacramento becoming worse and worse?

Your allergies are probably due to developing allergies as you get older, living near people who like to blow the fine particulates that fall into the air with leafblowers, and possibly living near a source of specific allergens you are allergic to.

I've never really been troubled with allergies, with the exception of mold/mildew. Japanese Privets always gave me allergies. As long as I stay away from them I'm ok. My big problem is people have become obsessed with bringing out the leafblowers everytime they see a few leaves on the sidewalk, then blow all the dust, pollen, and mold spores into the air.

That might explain it. We have weekly landscapers (for all the houses, pretty much) that come with their hedgers, leafblowers, and what have you.
