With the snowpocalypse behind us, we are all ready for warm spring weather! Or are we?

be time to take a new look at your seasonal allergies. Whether you’ve been struggling with spring allergies for
two years or twenty years, we can help you get a handle on your symptoms.

Spring pollen starts much earlier than many people think…as early as mid-February. This means you
need to have your plan in place by mid-February, not mid-March. The biggest spring allergy trigger
is pollen, or tiny grains, released by grasses and trees. Pollen can travel for miles and when it reaches
the nose and eyes of someone who is allergic, it wreaks havoc. Allergy symptoms tend to be worse on breezy
days when the wind carries pollen through the air and less of a problem on rainy days when the water washes
the pollen away.
