    I feel for people with allergies. My old roommate had horrible allergies, and he would just suffer for like 4 months of the year. He never got sick though. I have almost no allergies, but I get sick a lot. I think it’s a balancing act by your immune system.

      I am allergic to grass, weed, tree pollens, dust mites, and I think my cat. There could be more that I am allergic too. I rarely get sick, and wear masks at the hospital. Last time I got sick was from my mother visiting, and didn’t tell me she was sick. If I do get sick, my whole body basically doesn’t want to work anymore. Luckily never got covid.

            gotcha. i’d have phrased it weeds for the outside pollens, (i think it’d be less confusing) but i am inexpert. i’m sure there’s terminology i am unaware of.

              The hospitals have no issues with me saying i am allergic to tree, weed, and grass pollen. And I never had an issue about before.
