I wasn't born here, I'm from the Midwest Illinois Suburbs. I had no idea that I had serious allergy issues... Until we moved here! I sometimes wonder if I'd be able to handle the snowy weather better there now as opposed to allergy hell season...

Looking at that video, I don't think you do have serious allergies, it's that you're now living where the air is 50%+ pollen.

Every spring I walk around like I'm dying. I have found that Walmart's Allergy medicine (Equate) works rather well. Makes me sleepy but I don't have watery eyes, gunk running out of my nose and I don't look like the walking dead. But without that medicine, Yeah, I'm looking like the walking dead.

Can’t have allergies if you’re unconscious

So, lots of rum would be the solution here? I'm okay with that. 😄
