There is no way to isolate yourself from these allergens when exposed to the outdoors, so the use of medications, or, the wearing of a mask is about all you can do. I have friends who takes shots for their allergies and do very well in the outdoors. Contact your doctor. Quoting Michael Carnes <michaelcarnes@earthlink.net>:
Hello everyone, Fran, my considerably better half, is interested in camping with me sometime at Bryce or Capitol Reef. However, she's got lots of allergies--grass, sage, many pollens, etc--and she's really afraid that the vegetation around the campsites might set her off. For a number of reasons, she tries to stay away from allergy medications when she can.
Because I don't share these allergies, I have no idea whether these campsites might be problematic or not. If there's anyone who can speak from personal experience, I'd appreciate your letting me know about it, either on-list or off.
Thanks much, Michael
