Review of Santa Rosa, California


Do NOT Move To Santa Rosa If You Have Allergies!
Star Rating - 7/25/2010
I have lived my entire life around the Santa Rosa area my entire life and have no plans of ever moving out of here but having said that, let me just warn you that if you or your loved ones suffer from allergies, then the entire Santa Rosa area is NOT for you.

Luther Burbank (the world famous botanist) introduced many non-indigenous plants to this area and because of that, the pollen and other stuff in the air here will wreak utter havoc on your nose, eyes and throat.

Some folks have to fight headaches, dry throat, ugly coughing, nasty sneezing and eyes and noses that just won't stop running no matter how much medication they take because of allergies.

You'd be better off moving up north to the Mendocino or Humboldt Counties.

Don't believe me? Come on out here and stay for a week in the spring and leave your allergy medicine at home. I dare you.

Just a friendly warning.

This is typical for people with allergies in any agricultural area, not just here.
