Non existent. Of course this is Florida. The only seasons we have are Hot and Humid, Holy Fucking Hot and Humid, Hurricane and for about a week Winter.
My wife reminds me every single day how her allergies were gone during our vacation in San Diego. Don’t tell her, but I want to keep my money, so we are staying in Texas.
I have allergies year round. I guess there’s a few months they get worse. Even on daily allergy medication, I can be pretty miserable. Being at work makes it worse.
My eyes being itchy is the most annoying. Especially right now in the pandemic. Whenever I do wear eye makeup it’s a struggle to not ruin it when they act up.
My allergies got much better when I moved. Air conditioning helps a ton. I don’t know what combination of temperature, filtering, and dehumidifying does the job, but as long as I stay in air conditioning, and don’t have a bunch of scented garbage in the house, I’m basically fine.
I would normally be miserable for a week or two and then be ok but this year I was terrible for about a month. I finally had to give in and get Flonase. It probably wouldn’t have looked too good having a mask on sneezing, sniffling and coughing.
I’m allergic to everything and have asthma, so I was on a ton of meds. For years, my Dr had suggested that I see an allergist. I finally did a year and a half ago and started getting allergy shots and it CHANGED MY LIFE. It’s a crazy thing, you have to go 50 times, then keep going once a month after that. But it was 100% worth the 100 shots.
@phendrick cinnamon. The smell of it, if strong, gives me instant migraines. (which is a shame because I do think it’s a pleasant smell).
Also, if I have too much cinnamon, a little is OK, I get these blisters forming inside my mouth (artificial cinnamon, like in gum and candy is even worse; I did read up on this once and there is an oil in cinnamon which is also used in fake cinnamon that causes this)
I have a winter condition where my wallet goes dry.

@yakkoTDI winter week is glorious.
My face is a faucet for months at a time… twelve months to be exact. Thank baby Jeebus for Zyrtec, Clarinex, Allegra, Xyzal and Claritin.
@ZeroCharisma
You just make a cocktail of all those, or…?
@DVDBZN I switch it up so my allergies never know what to expect.

My face is a faucet for a couple of weeks. There’s a specific pollen that I’m allergic to I guess. Then it’s clear for the rest of the year!

With apologies to Robbie Burns:
O my 'Lergy is like a red, red nose
That’s constant sneezed in June;
O my 'Lergy is like the malady
Of sniffles ‘n’ coughs in tune.

My biggest seasonal allergy is ground black or red pepper – it makes me sneeze.
@phendrick does ground up pepper fly through the air like pollen?
@phendrick @RiotDemon Maybe he meant season-ing

@RiotDemon When I sneeze, it does!
I have some sneezing, but my symptoms are predominately red, itchy eyes and the roof of my mouth is very itchy. Spring is the worst for me.
I have to clear my throat a little more often. That’s about it.
My eyes! Ze goggles do nossink!
My eyes slime over.
