How long do seasonal allergies last? For the most unfortunate allergy sufferers, all year long. Regardless of the climate or weather, allergies can be a problem. Explore each season to see what common airborne allergens you should prepare for.
When temperatures dip down low, especially below freezing, people with seasonal pollen allergies may expect to get relief from their symptoms. But if you're still sniffling, sneezing and blowing your nose during winter months, you may need to add indoor allergies to your list of sinus woes.
Common allergens
Buzzing bees and chirping birds won't be the only things heard in the coming spring months. An echo of “ah-choos” will be coming from more than 50 million Americans sneezing and wheezing in a chorus. We have seasonal allergies to thank for this, most commonly caused by pollen and mold .
Common allergens
Summer means sunshine, backyard barbeques, family, friends, festivals and other fun outdoor activities. But the millions of Americans who suffer from allergic reactions to grass pollens might be making excuses to stay indoors.
Common allergens
Autumn is a season filled with crisp air, falling leaves in most of the U.S., pumpkin carving and, of course, hay fever symptoms. Damp leaf piles can also be breeding grounds for mold , so allergy sufferers, be on the lookout! As the weather cools down and you spend more time indoors, you could start suffering from indoor allergies once again.
