Spring allergies are in bloom. Here's why and what to do about it
Briefly

A recent study published in The Laryngoscope found that climate change is extending the duration of seasonal allergies, especially allergic rhinitis, often triggered by ragweed in the fall. As plants bloom more readily, individuals report heightened allergy symptoms. Allergy expert Dr. Juanita Mora offers insights on managing these symptoms effectively amidst worsening conditions. People are encouraged to seek more information and support for health-related inquiries regarding allergies, as evidenced by the ongoing discussions in the NPR Short Wave podcast.
Ragweed, seen here, can trigger allergies for some people. Ragweed is common in the fall. Research has found that the window for seasonal allergies is getting longer.
And if it feels like your allergies, or those of your friends and family, are getting worse - you're probably right. That's according to a review published Wednesday in the journal The Laryngoscope looking at the link between climate change and allergic rhinitis, or hay fever.
