Springtime Allergies
Filed in archive General Health on April 18, 2007
It's April, and we're right in the middle of the springtime allergy season. A lot of people go through the miseries of running noses, burning eyes, sniffles and sneezes every spring when flowers start spewing pollen into the air.
Medical News Today tells us:
This spring, pollen from blooming trees and plants will join other allergens in affecting over 45 million Americans, causing itching eyes, sneezing, nasal stuffiness, Nasal congestion and drainage, and sometimes headache. This year, some areas are reporting record-high pollen counts, which are sure to impact the people breathing that yellow, dust-like allergen.
Some people may experience hearing changes, scratchy sore throats, hoarseness, and cough. In the most serious situations, allergies can lead to balance disturbances, swelling in face or throat tissues, skin irritations, and even respiratory problems and asthma.
Does it seem like allergies are getting worse? According to The Green Guide, they probably are:
More carbon dioxide pollution encourages plant growth, which means more ragweed and tree pollen. In fact, the ubiquitous weed makes nearly twice as much pollen now as it did 100 years ago and will likely double its production again over the coming century with predicted increases in carbon dioxide levels, according to a U.S. Department of Agriculture study.
Associated Content gives several tips for avoiding the misery of allergies, including the use of over-the-counter remedies and reducing the time spent around allergens.

Yup, my spring allergies are acting up! The unusually warm winter we've had definitely made it worse.
