Allergies and rain

I live in Massachusetts and I have noticed that when it rains, my allergies are really, really bad. Does anyone know what you would be allergic to if it happens when it rains? Thanks

Re: Allergies and rain

There are a couple of recent studies that show that mold counts go up, not just when it's raining or afterward, but immediately before storms as well. I don't know how valid they are. Some folks are also very sensitive to changes in barometric pressure and will experience symptoms for this reason.

Re: Allergies and rain

Also, dust mites thrive in high humidity, so that's another possibility.
