The allergy capital of New Zealand.

Desmond from Dinsdale

Two years ago I ended up on an inhaler due to breathing problems in spring and summer - close to 9 months of the year actually. Back then I was told that "you don't need to have asthma to need an inhaler in the Waikato because "Hamilton is the allergy capital of New Zealand". Last year I needed the inhaler on and off for a few months - this year I haven't needed it yet though I was stuffed up for two weeks and now, though I'm breathing easily, am occasionally getting sinus headaches. So the question whether it is that much better elsewhere in the country or if there is a way to better manage symptoms in Hamilton?
