Hello, I'm an American citizen moving to Malta in a couple weeks. I'll be there from October to June living in a tent outdoors. I have pretty bad seasonal allergies (allergic rhinitis) here during fall and spring seasons. Do I have to worry about this when I move, and if so during what months will I need to medicate?

Where are you and your tent staying?
Depending on the area you may get dust and pollen. A lot of places have mould but may not be a problem if staying in a tent ( although your clothes may get mouldy).

Torrential rain may also be a problem if you camp in the wrong place!

I'm staying in St Julian's, and I don't mind the occasional storm! I've camped out in some pretty rough storms before and actually really enjoyed it.

You may wish to consider buying and eating local honey. However, check that it is truly local as much that is sold here is made from a variety of EU sources. There is a proven link between eating local honey to prevent so called 'hay fever' and other associated conditions. You must be made of strong stuff, staying in a tent,; no way would I do that in those months!!Have you seen some of the storms you can experience out here?
I'd have a look at some of these clips if I were you.

I never knew that about the honey, but it does make sense considering the pollen content. In America, most of the honey on grocery store shelves isn't actually honey by the world's standards because of a filtering process that removes the pollen. Is this also a problem in Europe? And those storms look pretty intense, but I've camped out in storms before, I actually really enjoyed it! A little more waterproofing on my tent and I'll be good to go!
