Allergy Warning - Houston, TX
ALLERGIES! ALLERGIES! ALLERGIES! - I visited My Trips today to update our future Western Exotic Caribbean Cruise info, and I stopped by to read your comments on Houston. Anyway, I wanted to leave a very clear warning to anyone planning to move to Houston with just one word - ALLERGIES. Since moving here, I have developed a major case of allergies, including servere adult asthma (my allergist told me with a smile, "If it's green, you're allergic to it.) I now have to use a common inhaler, a home nebulizer and I have to carry epinephrine everywhere I go because the inhaler does not work all the time. I have no history of asthma or allergies to the outdoors, and I never experienced these things while living in California, Arizona, Pennsylvania or Kentucky. So I HIGHLY SUGGEST that if you have any allergies whatsoever, including asthma, seek out the advise of your doctor before moving here. My (now regular) allergist here in Houston has told me that Houston is one of the WORST places to live if you have allergies. I also have heard the exact same thing from everyone I talk to about my allergies, including my other doctors. I also subscribe to Weather.com's desktop, and frequently see warnings of high concentrations of Ozone in the air. We are actually considering moving elsewhere, even though it will not cure what I now have. Funny thing is, I still really like Houston. But my body doesn't. We'll see. - Journal Entry Created July 13, 2008

We usually have a nice breeze here in Houston and I love being 67 miles away from the Gulf of Mexico.
I wouldn't be happy living anywhere else. I tell folks, I'm a Texan by Choice, not by birth.
