Question:
I am a moderate allergy-induced asthma sufferer who is planning on
moving to the Raleigh/Durham area early next year. Can anyone provide
any insight or links to information regarding the affects of Carolina
weather (specifically tree pollens and humidity) on asthmatics ? Any
help would be greatly appreciated !
Answer:
I live in Columbia, South Carolina and my asthma is definitely better in the
fall and winter. I find it much harder to breathe on our hot, humid summer
days. If you find that humidity is a bother, you may want to check into
getting a good dehumidifier.
It depends. Are you allergic to the things that are in the air in
that area? That's a good question. It's really time for me to have another
evaluation and see what bothers me the most. After I know this, I can
compare it with what is prevelant in North Carolina. How can I find out
the kinds of allergens that are in the air in N.C. ?

list that included plants indigenous to the area. I'm sure you could get
your hands on one.
