I'm really sorry to hear about your encounter with eastern Oregon pollen. I used to work in John Day, not too far from Unity. The Pollen from the Juniper trees is very irritating, even to those that are not allergic to it. I suspect that is what you ran into. It sounds like you will be back before too long, and I echo mtnbud's sentiments about our state. Wishing you a speedy recovery and a successful rematch!
