The arrival of spring may bring warmer weather, but that warm, dry breeze also carries pollen. And for the more than 50 million American allergy sufferers, that means it is time to stock up on tissues and allergy medicine it is spring allergy season. Unfortunately this spring it is not just pollen that has us sneezing. We are already seeing more intense mold-related allergy symptoms this spring, especially itchy, watery eyes, says Bela B. Faltay, MD, Chief of Service, Allergy, Akron General Health System. This is likely due to the volume of snow that has made the ground very moist.
The late onset of warm weather causes the different species of trees to pollinate at the same time rather than in a gradual sequence, explains Dr. Faltay. Much like last year, it will also increase the overlap between the tree and grass seasons. For patients allergic to both tree and grass, this can be much more intense.
Typically grass allergy season occurs later in the spring and into early summer, says Dr. Faltay. But if the weather remains cool and wet, it may extend the grass season.
