Hi Zane,

The biggest allergy issue is with cedar pollen. People here typically call them “Cedar trees”, but it is actually a Juniper. These things dump a lot of pollen into the air around the beginning of each year. The next prominent allergy is from Oak pollen. Then those with allergies to grass or mold (after it rained a lot) can also have an issue at certain times of the year. Here’s an article with more information.

I’m looking into immigrating, hopefulle within the next twelve months. I read the sobering section allergies. Do you have specifics on the type of allergies to expect in Austin? A running nose hits me pretty hard here in JHB with the changing of the seasons😕. Is there a similari dust/pollen/excessive polution problem in Austin as in JHB?

Many thanks,
