The AAFA created this report using information from the 100 largest cities. They also used statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau. The organization created the report and focused on pollen scores for tree, grass and weed pollen, the number of people that use over-the counter medicine for allergies and the amount of allergy specialists in the city.
“Climate change has caused the growing seasons to get longer and warmer, leading to higher tree, grass, and weed pollen counts. Some parts of the United States now have pollen year-round,” the AAFA report said.It’s unfortunate that Houston was listed as an allergy capital, but there are things we can do to treat these symptoms.Make sure to keep windows closed when high pollen counts are expected.Nasal corticosteroid sprays can help decrease swelling in your nose and protect against allergies.
