Okay, D. is allergic to:
  • Both kinds of dust mites
  • Dogs
  • Cats
  • Three of the four tested molds
  • Cockroaches
  • Two weed types: ragweed and lamb's quarters
  • Three common local trees: alder, willow, and cottonwood
  • And the seven-grass mix
He's not allergic to ash, birch, walnut, oak, elm, maple, juniper, or red cedar, and he had no reaction at all to filbert/hazelnut.

So, basically, he gets tree allergies in March/April, grass allergies in June, weed allergies later in the summer, and dust and mold year-round. Whee!

So, it's back to the antihistamines, and we can work on reducing his dust exposure and bathing the cats. Maybe when he gets his driver's license he can do the immunotherapy, but it involves driving to this inconvenient place maybe 50-70 times in the first year...
