Fun fact, the yellow pollen is the least likely culprit if you have seasonal allergies. It’s the smaller tree/grass pollen that stays aloft in the air that triggers an allergic reaction.

i had terrible, terrible allergies in the midwest growing up. moved to GA where this pollen is everywhere and i’ve never had a bad season (literally zero allergic reaction) I’m convinced it’s bc so many people have pine straw/ivy yards as opposed to grass in my part of the state.

And I had the opposite. Grew up in SC, never really affected by the yellow stuff. Moved to TX for a year a few years ago, horrible reaction to the cedar pollen.
