2. Spring 2016 – Good or Bad for Allergy
Sufferers?
Allergy season is already off to a strong start, despite the fact that the first day
of spring has yet to arrive. Sneezing, a runny, itchy or stuffy nose, and itchy eyes,
skin and throat are all symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis. Seasonal allergic
rhinitis, also known as hay fever, is a common condition that affects millions of
Americans every year.
The unpleasant symptoms associated with seasonal allergies are triggered by
pollen from trees, grasses and weeds, or from microscopic mold spores that
grow on the ground.
According to Dr. Summit Shah at Premier Allergy, leading allergy clinic in the
Columbus, OH, mold growth has been worse than normal this year due to a
mild winter that kept the ground warmer than usual and allowed mold to grow
and spread. Many trees and flowers are also blooming early because of the
warmer temperatures. These factors add up to an itchy late winter and early
spring for those with seasonal allergies.
