I have never had allergies, and I was adopted so all I know about my birthparents was that one of my relatives was allergic to perfume. The past few years, I have gotten what I thought was a cold for about a week during early May, early June and early July. Lately I've noticed (this year) that some days I will be in my car and sneeze more than usual and other days I don't sneeze at all. My eyes have also been dry and itchy/watery at times, and at times I have a slight stuffy nose (mostly at night when I try to sleep and in the morning when I wake up). I don't have sneezing fits or anything, and the symptoms are not severe, but could this be the beginning of an allergy, and if so, do you think it will get worse as I get older? Also, what do you think could be triggering it? It always starts around June, and I live in Ohio. Any advice would be helpful! Thanks!
