Guest guest Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Phoenix and the larger cities have a whole lot of trouble with pollution due to the number of folks who moved thinking they'd be healthier there combined with the geographical factors resulting in very little wind on really hot days and the like. Some of the outlying areas at higher altitudes are very pleasant. I had trouble changing altitudes in the day's drive from Phoenix to the Grand Canyon and the day we drove back. Sinuses did NOT care for that. Also, one has to remember that the desert is not without allergens and while cacti probably don't produce a great deal of pollen other things do. These grasses and trees will not be things that those of us who don't live in the southwest will have been tested for OR we will not have had a reaction to a scratch test for them without previous exposure. That said, climate can be a factor. One of my major asthma triggers is cold, so I don't and won't live north of the Mason-Dixon line. TAke care, all Addy > > Me too!! My GP keeps telling me to move to Arizona. I am from CANADA. I want to shoot her in the head when she starts on this. My entire fam is in Montreal and I have zero desire to move. So tell me asthma also sucks in AZ and I will be able to tell her to go away with her crazy ideas. > > the Canadian > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
