“Over the past few weeks, we've been seeing it kind of increasing gradually," Shah told NBC 5 health reporter Lauren Petty."Now we're at the peak of it, so hopefully the next couple weeks are going to be bad for those who are allergic to ragweed, and then things are going to start settling down."According to Shah, mold at such high levels is unusual for this time of year.
Shah said allergy sufferers typically wish for an early frost, because it can bring relief from symptoms, but that hasn’t happened in recent years.“If it's anything like the past couple years and we've had like, kind of these milder falls and winters, then it may be just mold is going to be a longer season and be increased,” Shah said.Feeling out of the loop?
