Allergies, mold, and location--thoughts

So I have recently moved 6 hours north of where I lived before in CT. I had been struggling with outdoor allergies, indoor allergies, MCAS symptoms, pollen, mold, etc. Normally I would be sneezing my head off this time of year, but I've had the windows open, and I literally seem to have no allergies.

I haven't had any reactions to indoor mold either. Most of my relatives have moved out west, because it was better for their allergies, but I wasn't expecting that just moving a few hundred miles north might have the same effect.

I'm not sure if this would help anyone else, or if this was just something unique to my situation. On another note, right before I moved, I found out there was three significant water leaks that had been overlooked. That might have been a factor.

Glad you both were able to move and found your health to improve as a result.

I am sure the locations effect is real. Paradigm change has a list of places that participants voted on. Aerose91 also gave his input on here about locations he had been to.

I live near the SC state line. I swear when I cross the river into SC, the air feels different - cleaner. Hard to understand how that can be. After moving out of my hometown to get away from my parents moldy house, I discovered the air in my hometown is definitely cleaner than the air where I am now in the next county. It’s not just mold. It’s chemicals and everything else, too.

Oh, yeah. Definitely. Exposure to indoor mold can cause all kinds of other immune symptoms - allergies, asthma, MCAS. Sometimes just getting out of the exposure can do wonders.
