Spring Allergies Are Worse Than Ever
Do you find yourself wheezing and sneezing lately? It doesn’t quite feel like a cold? You might find that you’re dealing with allergies. You might not have even had them until this year! The reason is due to the “super bloom” that has occurred in nature. What is the super bloom? Snow fell so late in the season that plants were not allowed to bloom at their proper times. When the plants finally grew, pollen was released all at once rather than in its regular intervals. This massive release of pollen is called the “super bloom”.
What items in nature are responsible for your itchy throats and stuffy noses? Spring Allergies are brought on by different trees, weeds, and grasses. Trees are as listed: Oak, Olive, Elm, Birch, Ash, Hickory, Poplar, Sycamore, Maple, Cypress, and Walnut. Some weeds and grasses: Bermuda, Fescue, Johnson, June, Orchard, Perennial rye, Redtop, Saltgrass, Sweet vernal, and Timothy.
Not sure if you’re dealing with a cold or an allergy? Check out the table. It can help you to decipher your issue. Chart taken from here.
For relief of allergy symptoms benodryl, Claratin, Zytec or other forms of antihistamines work great.
