If you re like most people, springtime is a welcome visitor after dealing with the snow, sleet, and ice of winter. However, for allergy sufferers, springtime isn t always something to look forward to.
Flowers start to bloom, grass and weeds come back to life, and allergy season kicks into high gear.
One of the most common seasonal allergies is hay fever. The culprits that cause this allergy are allergens such as ragweed, pollen, and grass. Many people also suffer from allergies to pets, dust, and certain foods, but typically these allergies are not affected by seasonal changes. You may be surprised to learn that allergies can surface at any age. If you ve made it through your 30s, 40s, or 50s allergy free, you may think that you re in the clear.
