It’s that
time of year when a significant percentage of the population is plagued with extremely
itchy and watery eyes, constant sneezing, and runny noses. You guessed it,
allergy season is just around the corner. As climate change continues to impact
temperatures and weather patterns around the world, researchers are noticing
different trends for allergy sufferers. In particular, the allergy season has
been arriving a few weeks earlier each year, according to the World Allergy Organization. This does not mean that allergy
season has also been ending earlier though. For allergy sufferers, this is far
from welcome news.
Air
pollution, pollen, mold, and poison ivy are more prevalent due to climate
change and warmer weather, which can increase risks for those with allergies.
Each year, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, puts together a list
of the Spring Allergy Capitals in the US. The list takes into
account: the pollen score of each city, rates of allergy medication use by
residents, and availability of Board-certified allergists. In 2016, the AAFA
estimates that Jackson, MS will be the most challenging city to live in for
allergy sufferers. Also on the list are, Memphis, TN; Syracuse, NY; and
Louisville, KY.
Pollen
allergies pose physically challenging symptoms, as patients deal with added
sinus pressure, runny noses, itchy and watery eyes, headaches, shortness of
breath, repeated sneezing and excessive fatigue. Unfortunately, allergies can
also take an emotional toll by causing anxiety, depression, and frustration.
The allergy season is also sometimes associated with economic costs, as employees
take time off to deal with aggressive allergy symptoms. It’s no wonder why
those with allergies dread spring and the change of seasons.
Proper
diagnosis and treatment of allergy symptoms is paramount to the effective
management of allergy symptoms. However, for most Americans, proper management
of allergy symptoms can mean excessive time and valuable resources wasted
sitting at urgent care centers or in the doctor’s office. This allergy season,
