Spring Season Help
It's true we've officially passed the mid-point of spring in the northern hemisphere, but spring challenges from blooming and clouds of pollen blowing around hit each region of the globe at different times. In the U.S. this week, over 50% of the country has a "high" or "medium high" pollen count.
Even if it's "not so bad" for you now — consider shoring up before you have a problem.
And if spring is a breeze for you, but autumn is a challenge, it's not too early to prepare your systems for that time. You'll want at least three months of building a foundation to better hold your own.
Unfortunately, our environment has changed and as a result, more adults are experiencing spring (and autumn) in ways they never have before.
This recent article explains:
A large driver of adult-onset seasonal allergies appears to be climate change.
"The pollen season right now is about three weeks longer than it was 30 years ago, and there's about 20% more pollen in the air," said Dr. Neelum Tummala, an ear, nose and throat specialist and co-director of the Climate Health Institute at George Washington University. Those statistics come from research published in 2021.
"As the Earth's core temperature increases," Tummala explained, "the ground thaws earlier in the year, rousing trees from their winter slumber, prompting them to flower and produce pollen earlier than ever."
It's not just that the season is lasting longer. The sheer amount of pollen in the air has exploded. The combustion of fossil fuels — another cause of global warming — increases carbon dioxide. As CO2 levels go up, plants and trees produce more pollen.
Dr. Stanley Fineman, an allergist at Atlanta Allergy and Asthma and a spokesperson for the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, calls the phenomenon a "pollen storm."
"The pollen counts, particularly this season, have been much, much higher than they’ve been in the past," he said. Symptoms are starting earlier in the year and are more severe.

A Tip About Masks
You may be surprised to learn that reports of spring challenges were lower these in 2020 and 2021. Outdoor allergens were less of an issue because most people were wearing masks.
If you are suffering, save yourself some grief and wear a mask when outside or traveling in areas with a higher pollen count. (In the U.S., you can learn your local pollen levels here: Pollen.com)
