45 – Strictly speaking, you cannot be allergic to altitude, as an allergy is an immune system reaction to a foreign substance (like pollen or food). However, ascending to higher elevations causes physical reactions, and some people do experience heightened allergy and asthma symptoms at high altitudes.

Brentwood, Los Angeles is not strictly at sea level. The neighborhood sits at a varied elevation averaging roughly 315 feet (96 meters) above sea level, depending on your exact location in the district.
