Their is some evidence that a disorder in histamine metablism histamine may play a part in CHs. I live in the US. Athens, Ga; the home of rock band, REM, B52s, etc. The pollen spore and mold count has been breaking their own records
during 1998-1999. According to my doctor and my oxygen provider, CHers have had a higer than normal episodic and chronic suffers comming in than ever before. I have only layman's opinion. Either these counts are triggers or they effect the histamine metabolism to a greater degree.
I personally had a very bad year either it is these high allergen counts or I am going full time chronic.I just turned 40 years of age and the chronic mean,I think is 40-50 yoa. Welcome to the site and glad you found us but sorry you have CHs you will find becomming a part of ch.com a great experience
