Spring is finally here! Okay, so maybe not for everyone, but it’s definitely a time of year where allergies start to flare up. If you’re like most people, you’re probably wondering what the pollen count will be this season and whether or not you should prepare for an all-out allergy attack.

What Allergies will be present this Spring?
There is no telling what allergies will be present this Spring, but it is definitely something to keep in mind. Children are especially prone to developing allergies and their symptoms can vary greatly from person to person. Symptoms of allergies can range from sneezing and a runny nose to severe asthma attacks. If you have young children or are planning on having any children in the near future, it is important to be aware of their potential allergies and take appropriate precautions.
The severity of allergies this Spring
One of the great things about allergy season is that everyone’s symptoms start to vary. For some people, severe symptoms can come and go while for others, their allergies can be quite bad all year long. The severity of allergies this Spring will largely depend on the time of year, the location you are living in, your genes, and other environmental factors. However, there are some general tips that can help minimize your symptoms.
Here are a few pointers to help you get through this Spring with as few allergens as possible:
1. Keep an EpiPen handy – If anaphylaxis (a life-threatening allergic reaction) occurs, use an EpiPen immediately. Even if you think you’re not going to have an allergic reaction, carrying an EpiPen around is always a good idea in case something happens.
2. Limit your exposure – Pollen counts will be high this Spring and exposure to pollen can trigger allergies. Try to avoid being outdoors as much as possible when pollen levels are highest; stay inside if you have to go outside. And if you do have to go outside, cover your nose
How to deal with allergies this Spring
The weather is finally warming up, which means that allergies are on the rise. If you’re like most people, your allergies will be worst this spring. Here are some tips on how to deal with your allergies this season:
-Stay hydrated: When it’s hot and humid, you’ll likely lose more water than usual. Make sure to drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated and avoid dehydration from the heat and pollen.
-Avoid pollens: Pollen is the cause of most allergies, so avoiding them as much as possible is key to keeping your symptoms under control. Try to stay inside during peak allergy hours or take measures to avoid exposure to pollen, such as using a air purifier or wearing a mask when out in the pollen-rich environment.
-Take medication as prescribed: If you’re taking allergy medication regularly, make sure to continue taking it even when you have pollen exposure. The medication can help reduce your symptoms significantly.
Tips for avoiding allergy attacks this Spring
If you’re like most people, you’re anxious to get Spring started and break out the sunscreen. Unfortunately, if you have allergies, you may want to put off the outdoor activities a little while longer. Here are some tips to help avoid allergy attacks this Spring:
1. Keep your pollen levels low. Pollen is the major allergen that causes allergic reactions. If you can limit your exposure to pollen, you’ll help reduce your chances of getting an allergic reaction. Some ways to do this include using air conditioning during pollen season, keeping windows closed during the height of pollen season, and avoiding close contact with people who are carrying pollen.
2. Get vaccinated against seasonal allergens. Many people believe that getting vaccinated against seasonal allergens (such as ragweed, birch, and grass) will help them avoid an allergic reaction. However, recent studies have shown that getting vaccinated does not actually prevent most allergic reactions. In fact, it appears to only slightly increase the chances of avoiding an allergic reaction. That said, it’s still a good idea to get vaccinated if you suffer from specific allergies to these plants.
3. Monitor your symptoms closely.
Preventing pollen
Pollen is the most common allergen and can cause an allergic reaction in anyone. To help prevent a pollen allergy this spring, follow these tips:
-Stay indoors as much as possible between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when pollen concentrations are highest.
-Avoid outdoor activities during these hours if you can.
-Wash your face and hands often, especially before going outdoors.
-Use a dust mask if you have to go outside.
Treating allergies
Springtime is a time of rebirth, new beginnings, and hope. But for many people, it also heralds the start of allergy season. In fact, one in three Americans suffers from some form of allergy, and allergies are on the rise.
There’s no one answer to how bad your allergies will be this spring, but there are a few things you can do to help mitigate the symptoms. Here are a few tips:
-Stay away from allergens: The best way to avoid triggering your allergies is to stay away from all the things that trigger them.
