Allergies triggered by rain?

Are there any allergies (mold?) that are aggrevated by rain? It's been raining here for 3 days straight and I cannot breathe at all. I've used my inhaler 3 times tonight (I have allergies, anaphylaxis, and asthma).

For the life of me, I cannot figure this out. I assume it is mold or the increased moisture in the air, but I thought it was DRY air that triggers (intrinsic) asthma. ?

Any ideas?

I have allergy induced (extrinsic) asthma

I have allergies as well, though not as severe.

Rain will agitate and mix around any particles in the air. Also, because of the moisture in the air from the rain (depending on where you live) it can cause breathing problems as well.

I live in VA and when it rains in the summer, the moisture and humidity is so great, it will definitely take your breath away. So my suggestion is try not to go out in that mess if you do not have to. If it gets any worse, contact your prescribing doctor and he may have other suggestions for you.
