Allergies

We are loving our trip, but have discovered something neither of us knew. Mike and I could never live in any of the areas we've visited. It is so lush and green here, absolutely beautiful! And we are both allergic. Mike coughs and spits, and I cough and my ears are plugged up. Several people along our travels have mentioned that the allergies are particularly bad for them right now as well.

I'm taking allergy pills and a decongestants several times a day, but it isn't helping very much. Occasionally, my ears clear in the car, but that doesn't happen very often.
