yeah, seems counter-intuitive but there are allergens out here that affect me pretty bad v. anything in the areas you would expect me to have them. I had friends growing up with bad allergies but I can go to CA or the Midwest in the spring and have no issues, put hay up in barns and have no issue, so forth. There are different plants/trees of course in the desert than wetter climates and they wreak havoc on me. There is some funky tree out here that causes Kristi's eyelids to get raw and itchy and my co-worker's wife has the exact same reaction coming from NorCal and this year it has been wet actually but that makes that tree bloom like mad. I have heard this year is the worst for allergies actually because we have had a lot of rain.
Maybe fresh air is bad
We maybe need a little smog to grease the pipes hahaha.
