I've never had Fall allergies in Korea. Ever. But this year my allergies are really bad. Itchy throat, phlemy cough, etc. Granted I live in the countryside, but I have for years. Anyone else suffering from allergies this year?

Sounds funny, but I'm allergic to Korean apples. If I eat one my nose starts running.

I'll let you know when autumn gets here. True autumn starts in a couple of weeks. But, I noticed if I went biking after dusk mid to late Octoberish and in the afternoons in November and March, I'll get really bad allergies which mimic having a cold and even with going to the doctor takes some time to go away. Gotta be careful. Brought some Reactine back from Canada and got some family to send me a special fitler mask from America as Amazon wouldn't ship it here.

I did go biking up a mountain once during humid weather as it was a weekend in mid September. Bad mistake. All the pollution gets trapped in the humidity and it went deep into my lungs causing a bad allergic reaction for a couple of weeks. Really sucked a week later when the air and humidity cleared up. (Humidity usually goes away around September 25th. Weather gets real nice after that. Clear and warm.)

I had to take an anti histamine a few weeks ago, but that was it. The thing about Korea is, there are still a lot of flowers blooming in autumn...

Gosh...I need glasses...I thought your post read..".Anyone else have bad allergies to Ajummas?"

Actually...kimchee...my body just can't handle it for some reason...and when the Jeju rape flowers bloom...allergies big time.

Yes, I thought I had a cold for about a week but have finally realized I must just have allergies...plus I think a sinus infection.
