    Keep sneezing, no allergies

    Since I've returned to HK after a long absence I've been sneezing quite a lot. I don't have allergies and not sick, and I live in the same house as before. The house is next to the sea in a quiet place so no air pollution. Anyone has any ideas?

    Mold? Hong Kong is pretty humid.

    Idk maybe but I didn't have this problem before. If there's mold in the house, what should I do, paint the walls and doors?

    This time of the year, the pollution is rather bad, so it could be just that.

    No air pollution? Hilarious! Maybe less than a roadside in Causeway Bay, but don't think just because you can't see it, it's not there. Every winter in Hong Kong, I'm coughing and sneezing, and it magically stops at Christmas and Chinese New Year... when I escape to somewhere with first world air quality.

    Pollution without a doubt. You can’t escape the dreaded winter pall, even by the sea, it covers the whole territory.

    But doesn't the fresh air constantly blow from the sea?
    Not in winter. Air blows down from the North in Winter.

    That's what the locals just told me too. Apparetly the cold wind comes all the way from Siberia.
