I don't think my seasonal allergies are going to be a problem in space.


You'll be growing crops year round, indoors. So you could be miserable. Curious if they select for plant strains that give off less pollen.


I have idiopathic allergies and mold and mildew drive me absolutely batty.

There's really no way to avoid bringing those with you, and if the humidity control isn't just right, well then that stuff can grow anywhere that humidity accumulates. And it's not like you can open the windows and scrub the place down every six months to keep it at bay.


When all crops will be (presumably) manually pollinated, it might be easier with plants that produce a lot of pollen.
