Does anyone know if people suffer with hayfever in Adelaide, This is one of the big factors of us moving out there cos me and my 2 kids all suffer during may to july in this country, so makes our summers very misserable. :sigh:

ooo good question...sorry I can't help but welcome to the group :mr man: I'm sure someone out there will be able to answer it for you.

Yep - my neighbours for one!
They told me they moved from the country, where it was mainly native plants around, to the suburbs (Marion) where many non-native plants are in the gardens and it all started to get much worse then. It all depends which trees/plants your particular allergy is related to but apparently some of the trees are known for causing lots of hayfever.

My hubby, Wayne used to suffer badly from hayfever in the UK, we have been here for spring, summer and now autumn and so far he has only had a very mild attack. He didn't even need to get medication!!

In the UK he would have been off work, and laid up on the couch with his eyes streaming, not being able to open them!!!

We'll just have to see how he gets on now through the rest of autumn and winter, but so far so good.

If it makes any difference we live next to the sea, so I guess the air probably has a much lower pollen count than in the countryside.

He definately had an allergy to rape seed, those lovely bright yellow fields in the UK, and we haven't seen any of those here in Brighton.

.... so it sounds like, with any luck, you might leave an existing allergy behind because the plants here are different :sign60:

On the other hand, if you're really unlucky I guess you might develop an allergy where you've never had one before :loopy:

There's not much in the way of crop-growing type farming around here, though if you move out a bit and are allergic to grapevine pollen I guess it could be dodgy :P

Oh I hadn't thought about hayfever. I suffer really bad in this country during June/July :(

Hopefully the living near the sea should help a little, shouldn't it? :

Kittenlips,

Our next door neighbour has lived on the Esplanade at Brighton for 36 years, she is now 86 and is fit as a fiddle, she swears its the sea air.

So if thats anything to go by, then you should be fine :dance:
