Okay, people in SOME countries get allergies, for sure. Let me reword this. I think there are far more allergies in the US than anywhere else - Im talking seasonal allergies here, just to clarify. I lived in Bangladesh for 2 years - NOTHING! I just came back from 6 months in Brazil - NOTHING! And I lived in Australia for half a year too - NOTHING! Unless memory decieves me, there is something very strange at work here. And one more thing, I didnt start getting allergies until high school - whats up with that? Theres something very strange in the air...

I live in Moscow and get allergy only in spring and sometimes in summer, when it is warm and there are a lot of dust, plus some trees are flowering. I think if our warm period will longer, my allergy will more strong. So, it depends on climate and ecology of residence (town - village etc.).

If people in some undeveloped countries get severe allergies, they will just die. We can keep them alive over here, so there are more people with allergies.

I think it's our chemicals. I know some of these coutries are actually worst than us, but we are such a clean freak country and everything has to be able to melt the dirt away so we don't have to scrub....check out some of the toxins in our everyday products...

Of course we do!!! I spend half of the year (during the rainy season) sneazing and coughing and with itchy and teary nose and eyes!!!
Wherever there are flowers, dust, soap, and many, many other substances, you´ll find people allegic to them.

Perhaps you just weren't allergic to the specific pollens floating in the air in those other countries...but you are allergic to the ones in your US city.
