Tell that to my allergies.

Being in or outdoors made no difference to my hay fever. It was miserable for 6 weeks of the year, the rest was fine.

I use the past tense, because getting older means my allergy has abated. It only gets bad if I mow the lawn, so now I wear a mask doing that.

I have broad spectrum allergies to lots of stuff (pollen, etc). I live in the southeast with pine trees everywhere so it isn’t really seasonal.

A mask does help, which I’ve been wearing for… obvious reasons but exercising in a N95 is rough.

Ugh. That sounds terrible.

I'm sure you've already considered it, but move north were there are seasons and no pine trees :-/ The rain in Seattle tends to wash the pollen out of the air, too.

For me its grass. Even walking in grass with shorts on is a no-no.
