I think I've mentioned this story here before...
I grew up with horrible seasonal allergies (pollen and the like), to the point where I even got allergy shots and was heavily medicated. Visiting my cousins on the farm in South Dakota was awful if I didn't have a heavy dose of Claritin or Benadryl, which would basically put me to sleep. Fast forward several years to after college when I was in the Army...I found myself in Ranger School were most medications weren't allowed. So basically I just gutted it out when I started Darby (phase I of III). For the first 72 hours, I experienced the worst allergy attack of my life to the point that I didn't know if I could continue. For reasons that to this day I cannot explain I woke up on day 4 (or 5, I guess) and had no symptoms. None.
To this day I require no medication and have no allergy symptoms to speak of.
Edit: if there are any Allergists reading, I grew up in the Midwest and was the child of two parents who both grew up on what were basically farms. I was born in an urban center and would only experience a non-urban environment for fleeting weeks in the summer at Boy Scout camp and the like.
