Hi Linda - I can vouch first hand for moving from one area to another not providing a "cure" for allergies. When I lived in the Midwest I had strong allergic reactions to the top three allergens on your list - trees, grass and weeds. Relocating to Arizona's desert climate brought a lot of relief - at first - but the allergic reactions came back in new forms and are far worse than before. One example would be that while I got away from most types of trees by moving, I now have very strong reactions to Olive trees which are plentiful where I live, and an allergy to them has been confirmed through testing.
I follow the advice you give to lessen the impact of airborne allergens and would highly recommend that others do the same. Thanks for this very helpful information.
Take care,
Pat
