ds1 has pollen allergies, it's from the native trees, of melalucca, gum tree and bottle brush flowers. They are good hardy trees being natives so they plant them around schools and sides of the roads (we've had to wind up windows driving past some bush areas at certin times of the year).
ds1 primary school was chokkas with melauca trees and most notably outside his classroom (these are spread out single story) as it warmed up it blew straight into the classrooms, some days were worse than others and I'd be called up to sick bay as he'd have the runny nose watery eyes and ..... he's ended up with 2 whole weeks over the year off school, and not all tablets would work and you couldn't always pick the bad days. He is also allergic to a type of grass (most lawns here) seed so sport was fun LOL ... and chlorine from pools sets it off as well.
You either have asthma or allergies. ds2 has the asthma and ds1 has the allergies and I got the eczema which is also related (don't ask me how but it's documented) and all are hereditary.
I was told for pollens to see if you can buy very local honey. Slowly introduce that honey each day and it will eventually make you less alergic or cure you, but no local honey I could find in this area.
