I moved to contiguous USA (am from AK) when I was 18. I had never experienced allergies before, so was literally taking cold medicine a few times in the summer. I always assumed I was just coming down with something (summer colds weren't that uncommon in my childhood, but that's for me to reflect on), until I had scratched my nose open with a snotified face and a friend of mine said ".......do you want a Claritin? I have one in my car.." Then I had an existential crisis realizing that I could suffer from plants that I didn't stumble into or something to get myself an allergic reaction. Basically, once upon a time I thought seasonal allergies were for people that were just TOO sensitive to everything. womp womp

Just the opposite of me.
Spring is when all the nature starts. Fuck that shit.
(Poison ivy and berry bugs in particular can eat 7 bags of dicks. Each.)
Fall and Winter gang rise up!
Spring means it's time for the trees to start jizzing up my nose again
Totally agree. Was doing outdoor activities yesterday and got the first mosquito bite of the year and thought “dammit, it’s over.”
