Climate change has lengthened the pollen season in Europe by one to two weeks since the 1990s, affecting millions with allergic rhinitis. This increase in pollen affects individuals' ability to enjoy nature, as symptoms like itchy eyes and runny noses become more prevalent. The relationship between climate change and allergies highlights a growing disconnect between people and the natural world. As global heating continues, the impact on health and outdoor experiences is expected to worsen, making it harder for those with allergies to appreciate the environment.
