I'm allergic to this tree or I'll emigrate to Australia.

To Australia or maybe even further, like Suffolk.

Pine allergy is a thing, like.

 

Years ago, a mate helped me out on a big job taking down some Corsican pine trees. Three days work. Anyway, he was fine after day 1, but started to look a bit odd the next day. When he arrived on day 3 his face was so swollen, he was hardly recognisable. He forgot to mention that he was allergic to the dust, a fact he’d established after having to give up a part-time job in a carpenter’s workshop.

A specific allergy test should determine if she’s allergic to the Scots pine or not. Don’t see there’s a requirement to go all the way to Australia to get away from the tree? 100 metres should do it? I had a broad spectrum allergy test 20 odd years ago after some nasal issues and it came back I was allergic to house dust( I told them to tell my wife cos I wasn’t going to 😳). I think everyone is probably allergic to something.
