So, I moved up here in 2019 and found out I’m extremely allergic to grass pollen. I usually have to start my Claritin D as early as February (thank bb jesus they changed the law and I can get it over the counter with ID instead of having to get an Rx.)

Anyway, I follow Oregon Allergy Associates and they post daily grass/weed and tree pollen counts so I’ve come to discover that I’m only affected by grass pollen. This is the first years since ‘19 that there’s been zero grass pollen detected this late in spring.

Did anyone else notice that their allergies haven’t been bugging them? No exaggeration, unless I moved away—the last few years I would have died without my allergy meds as it gets into my lungs and triggers my asthma so I can’t breathe. So, I don’t wanna complain that I don’t have allergies but does anyone know if this just happens every once in a while, is it a phenomenon this year? Does it mean grass pollen is starting late and will last past July?

Or maybe no one knows since we can’t predict the weather, especially lately….TIA!!
