Allergic to Maryland?

I've always loved to be outdoors...gardening, hiking, even just sitting in my backyard to watch the birds. Imagine my surprise after all these years of enjoying the breezes without sneezes to be so allergic to whatever is out there HERE that a 30 minute weeding session last Friday developed into a stuffy-head, sniffling, sneezing, runny nose, itching eyes, coughing, bronchial congestion, FEVER, aching muscles week-long suffer-athon! Not again! It took me 12 weeks to get over the February attack of the mutant spores...

Someone told me a few days ago that even the hardiest "go down" in Maryland. Why? Can anyone tell me? Is there some sort of mutant mold...malignant Maryland mildew...devious dust that you must be born into to avoid prematurely dying into?

Needless to say, i am not a happy camper...

The infamous "Black Mold" said to have grown at the speed of evil to the billionth during this Maryland Monsoon season...breathe it and wheeze...

ARRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
