Whether it's April showers or May flowers, both forecast trouble for the more than 35 million United States citizens who suffer from spring seasonal allergies.
"During the wintertime, especially in the northern climates where it's cold, there's very little pollen in the air. When springtime comes and the weather warms up, trees pollinate and their pollen becomes airborne," says James T. Li, M.D., a specialist in allergy, asthma and immunology at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
Spring seasonal allergies (seasonal allergic rhinitis), also commonly referred to as hay fever, include allergies to the various pollens and molds that flood the air during springtime. Allergy tests can illuminate what specific pollens and molds you may be allergic to.
"There are two basic allergy problems that are caused in the spring," Dr. Li says. "They are seasonal allergic rhinitis and asthma, especially asthma in those who are allergic to tree pollen."
