LOL Not something I'd recommend, but I do find it an oddity. I wonder if what I experienced is very common at all?
Along similar lines:
I went to visit some friends in Charleston a few years back. They lived up against some woods, and had several cats, and my allergies went into overdrive. I felt like total crud the first two days I was there. Then, I went out in their boat, where we travelled down a rather swamp-like stream/river. I thought I was doomed, but not long into the boat trip, my allergies started to clear up, and then they were almost entirely gone for the rest of the week. It was like the massive allergen exposure forced my body to quit complaining and just get over it.
