Would mold allergies be helped by moving to Utah or Arizona?
I currently live in an area where it is very cold in the winter and hot an dhumid in the summer. I have been diagnosed with allergies to the phoma family of mold. Would it benefit me to move somewhere like Utah or Arizona where it is dry?
I think so. I currently live in utah but was raised in AZ. We sometimes have high pollen count in both places, but mold is not much of a problem.

not necessarily -and you may develop allergies to the plants in your new state. talk to your allergist about less extreme options first.

If you don’t want to deal with an allergy regimen, I guess anywhere but Tennessee. My aunt’s allergist says it has the most kinds of mold in this country. But for her it’s been cheaper to do the treatments than move.
