Abstract

The article discusses the worsening allergy seasons in the U.S., attributing this trend primarily to climate change, which has led to increased pollen concentrations and earlier onset of allergy seasons. Research indicates that from 1990 to 2018, North American pollen levels rose by approximately 20%, with allergy seasons starting about 20 days earlier and lasting longer. The article highlights the negative health impacts of prolonged allergy symptoms, including complications like sinus infections and exacerbated asthma. It also offers advice on managing allergies, emphasizing the importance of proactive medication and potential treatments such as immunotherapy for those with severe symptoms.
