Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself! Registration is free and instantaneous.

Seasonal Allergies.; Who has them?

I have no allergies apart from facepaint.
Time flows like a river. Which is to say, downhill. We can tell this because everything is going downhill rapidly. It would seem prudent to be somewhere else when we reach the sea.

Please note, since you people south of the Equator don't have seasons*, just tell us what types of allergies you have around the time us Northerners get them.
Is that meant to be tongue in cheek humour - or just General Ignorance of our planet's dynamics?

Wet and Dry - those are types of sandpaper...

OF course we have seasons you oaf! In Australia we get VERY hot summers, and depending on lattitude, depressing cold cloudy winters.

In Tasmania (which incidentally is shaped like a muff - i.e. woman's bush of pubic hair) it snows even as late as late October (which is like Snow in late March for you Northerners). New Zealand does not only get snow on its alps - in winter it snows at Sea Level on the South Island. Tierra Del Fuego on the tip of South America is a cold and miserable place most of the year.

In Perth West Australia, we have a "Mediterranean" climate - which happens over much of the planet at this lattitude (North or South), on the West coast of continents - California has pretty much the same climate as in Perth WA - as does much of the actual Mediterranean Sea. It's characterized by warm dry summers, and Wet Westerly Winds in Winter.
-----------------------------------------------------------
As for allergies - they can come and go... Grass pollens are the worst... I used to be unable to venture outside in our mid-Spring (October) - itchy red sore eyes, stuffy nose, itchy throat. Strangely however, I have developed a complete tolerance for this - and it now has no effect on me, or barely any. Bees - bees, if I get stung more than twice (hundreds more bees about in spring than in winter), my joints start to cramp up...

fair enough - but that seems very late to be still getting winter for someone like me who lives closer to the equator... on my lattitude (pretty much the same as Sydney - where SeaScorpion is) we can start getting days over 30 celsius in October...

yes - and Tassie never gets blizzards as far as I know.

And? I can't figure out the source of your hostility, which is jarring since the last time we conversed we were on neutral terms.

Seasonal Allergies suck. The nasal congestion and runny nose are only half of it though. I routinely get a chest cold from the nasal drip during the night and every other year I get a sinus infection. This year is the one where I WILL get the infection (it's already flared up in fact).

PLUS(!) I have a pollen (goldenrod in particular) allergy that causes asthma. It's not as bad now as it used to be but it's still something that I have to deal with in the autumn of every year.

So, again, allergies suck.
