Struggles with Allergies in Texas

The hosts discuss their experiences with allergies living in Texas, particularly highlighting the high pollen levels in San Antonio. The speaker humorously notes being allergic to Texas itself, raising the topic of climate variability within the state, which affects different areas differently. They reflect on their surprise that San Antonio is lush and humid rather than the dry, hypoallergenic environment people often associate with Texas. This personal anecdote leads to a broader conversation about how various climates impact health and well-being, especially for those with allergies.
