Fall/Halloween-related allergies = A+++
Leaves - jumping in them for fun and winding up with a surprise allergic fit, raking because they /have/ to and sniffling and wiping a runny nose on rough work gloves the whole time.
Hay - hay everywhere, hay rides, hay bale mazes, drooping against a partner/friend after the 30th run of allergic sneezes for the day, being led by the hand, teary-eyed and blind, through the maze with one long sleeve pressed to a streaming nose.
Animals - horse rides at fall festivals, horses pulling wagons, stray cats at pumpkin farms and apple orchards, pets at halloween parties and ducking into the bathroom with no idea why they can’t stop sneezing but lord they can’t.
Costumes - that weird, latex smell on the inside of masks, feathers or fur, the whole night they’re trying not to sneeze and cough all over their costume, can’t rub their nose, making a mess of their makeup.
Smoke - bonfires, wood stoves, smoke houses, suddenly everyone is burning things and their eyes are streaming and their throat is dry and their nose is just a liiiiitle more sensitive than usual.
Ragweed - every time they set foot outside, the ragweed murders them, well into November. Walking around farmer’s markets, enjoying the last warm days, festivals and apple picking and haunted houses and they’re a mess the whole time, and there’s really no avoiding it besides sitting in their house with the windows sealed shut all season, so they go about these fun activities and put up with the sniffling and coughing and god the sneezing -
Dust - decorations from last year covered in dust, gathering more dust the longer they sit out, kicking on the heat for the first time and the vents puff out a summer’s worth of dust and the next day their throat is so dry and they feel ill but it’s just the dust.
