I definitely agree with this one. I have also found that I have to try to
dive in areas that have a similar surrounding to the areas I have lived in.
What happens with me, is that as I live in an area, my system becomes used to
most of the different pollens, etc., in the area that normally would set me
off. When I go diving, I have to pick my areas carefully for these traits,
because otherwise, it doesn't matter what medications I use. Being that I
live in Florida, and have lived in Greater Daytona Beach, Gainesville/High
Springs, and now Jacksonville, I have covered pretty much most of what
Florida has to offer. Believe me when I say, as soon as I have all my
equipment back and my husband is certified, I will be diving again.
I am having nitrox desires..........
