Allergies
15/f
I just moved to a boarding school in a different state that's really far away from my old state. I've been here for like 3 weeks and I've started having my typical allergy symptoms that I get with pollen (though that's not an allergen here right now) to something else- but I can't figure out what it is.
how can i find out?
ps: i know there's mold here

It could be mold, it could be pollen, or it could be any number of things. The best way to find out is to see an allergist and take an allergy test. Though it may cause your arm to flare up a bit, it's pretty much painless and it will let you see what you are allergic to. Perhaps if your allergies are serious you may be prescribed some special allergy medication, however, you can also find plenty of over the counter meds at any drugstore.

I have severe allergies so I'm kind of like the non-educatad guru for allergies :]
I would say that your allergy could describe mold, pollen, dust, ragweed, tree pollen, just grass in general, cat/pet dandruff lying around on people's stuff from home (since its not too far in the school year to have everything washed yet), and a multitude of other things. Just go with the flow and if you really want to know, check the school nurse and ask her about the allergens in the air and how bad they are (school nurses know that kind of stuff), or go to an allergist (though I doubt you could see one in boarding school).
Have fun at boarding school! I'm jealous.
