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!
