Moving Southward Does Have it's Downside

Everyone kept telling me that Northerner's who move South always get allergies due to the increased pollen - and now I believe it! Today I was diagnosed with an ear infection - in BOTH ears. This is, I think the 2nd in 3.5 years (at least) and I'm pretty sure given the lack of pain I'm currently experiencing, I've probably had more that went undiagnosed. And I never thought I had bad allergies since I didn't have watery eyes, or a constantly drippy nose. Turns out the congestion I've been feeling recently is 100% allergy - duh me! So after this course of antibiotics is over I'll be going back to the doctor to try some Singulair for the rhinitis (such a lovely term). Anyways, hopefully I won't continue to get ear infections - AND maybe I can go scuba diving below 35' now =)
