Allergy Season Overview
Allergy season typically begins in the spring, when plants release pollen into the air. This triggers hay fever and other allergic reactions in many people. The severity of allergy symptoms can vary greatly from person to person and from year to year.
Pollen is a powdery substance released by plants to fertilize other plants. It can cause allergic reactions in some people, leading to symptoms such as a runny nose, sneezing, and itchy eyes.
