If it's worse this time of year, you may well be allergic to ragweed
(depending on where you live). In the NorthEast US it's in full force right
now, starting to drop of fin the next couple of weeks.

I've never thought of food being contaminated with mites. Are you sure
you've got this right?

If you're having a lot of trouble right now, you may also have trouble with
things that don't normally push you over your "threshold of tolerance". You
may also have trouble with melons and safflower oil, both cross-reactive
with ragweed.
