Spring & Allergies: What You Need to Know
Spring is a beautiful season, but for allergy sufferers, it can also mean weeks of sneezing, itchy eyes, and congestion. As flowers bloom and trees release pollen, seasonal allergies (hay fever) are at their peak. But don’t worry—there are ways to manage your symptoms and enjoy the season!
Why Do Allergies Get Worse in Spring?
Springtime allergens are mostly airborne and include:
🌿 Pollen from trees, grasses, and flowers
🌾 Mold spores that thrive in damp conditions
🐶 Pet dander (pets shed more in spring!)
Common Spring Allergy Symptoms
✔ Sneezing and runny nose
✔ Itchy, watery eyes
✔ Congestion and sinus pressure
✔ Coughing or wheezing
How to Manage Spring Allergies
🌸 Check Pollen Counts – Stay indoors when pollen is high
🏠 Keep Windows Closed – Use air purifiers and change HVAC filters
🧼 Shower After Outdoor Activities – Pollen sticks to clothes and hair
💊 Use Allergy Medications – Antihistamines, nasal sprays, or allergy shots can help
