Allergy Season Hits Hard: Over 80 Million Americans Affected
With allergy season arriving earlier and stronger than expected, over 80 million Americans are currently struggling with symptoms such as itchy eyes, runny nose, and more. Experts attribute the severity of symptoms to climate change, which has led to longer and more intense allergy seasons.
According to experts, the top five most challenging cities for allergies this year are Wichita, Kansas; Virginia Beach, Virginia; Greenville, South Carolina; Dallas; and Oklahoma City. Tree pollen is reported to be the main culprit this season, followed by grass and weeds.
To alleviate discomfort, experts recommend keeping windows closed, avoiding high pollen times, and changing clothes after going outside. Allergists can also run tests to determine specific triggers, and over-the-counter treatments like nasal sprays and antihistamines can help alleviate symptoms.
For those with severe allergies, immunotherapies in the form of shots and oral drops are an option. By taking proactive steps and seeking proper treatment, allergy sufferers can better manage their symptoms during this challenging season.
Stay informed and prepared this allergy season to ensure a healthier and more comfortable experience for you and your loved ones.
