Hi Sue. For me, the panhandle of Texas and central west Texas are good.

I don't like the grey, cold winters up north. I was in NY for many years and air

quality except for soot is pretty good there because of ocean breezes. OTOH the

winters are tough, you can't get good sun and Vitamin D and I do better with

those.

I explored the south--Georgia, Florida. They are lush and beautiful but so

intensely humid and people are so naive about mold that 99% of dwellings have

mold. Not much stachy in Georgia but mold everywhere. Stachy in Florida where I

was anyway, in condos I tried that had suffered storm damage, and in a health

food store there.

Many people with issues go to higher altitude in Arizona. I don't think I do

well with higher altitude now. I need oxygen . I wouldn't even try 5-7000 feet

now although I used to travel and even hike at those summits when I was

healthier pre-lyme and even in early days of lyme.

Lower altitudes in Arizona etc may be okay but they're VERY dry and they do have

valley fever risk, more or less depending on the county and area.

Needing sun, wanting to be away from pollution, I have decided a semi arid

climate at an altitude of around 1600-2000 is good. Getting up to 1600-1700 feet

really helps with pollution. The area around Abilene had REALLY good air. If you

read around you find that areas with ranches are the best--not a lot of

agriculture etc. However Abilene is being smart-metered *and* a coal power plant

may be built there (not by Abilene but the nearby town of Sweetwater, which

pioneered wind turbines. An Omaha company wants to build a plant there and

probably will push it through). That would poison that lovely area.

We are in central west Texas now. That is an area called Kerville, Ingram, Hunt,

etc. Air quality is pretty good. It's not far from Austin and San (both

of which have bad air quality). It's very sunny. Its quite pleasant. There are a

lot of ranches in Ingram and Hunt. Kerrville is a retirement town. That tends to

be people who don't use as much wifi, sprays and all that crap.
