Allergic to Rain

Of all the ridiculous allergies (and believe me, there are some ridiculous ones) I think I might have the weirdest.  I'm allergic to rain.

From what I can find out, it's technically the mold spores that proliferate in damp weather.  I can start timing when the first drops fall; if it's not dry and sunny again six hours later, I'll have a sneezing fit six hours after that.  The sneezing (along with its inglorious companions, itchy eyes and tickly throat) doesn't clear up until about a day after the weather does.  Sinus Rinse helps some, but it doesn't hold back the dirty looks Rob throws my way as I disturb his existence with my sniffling.

Allergic to rain.  There are worse ailments, I'm sure.  But this is just embarrassing.
