Spring is here; so are allergies.

As pollen fills the air, your body goes into defence mode. The increased levels of pollen in spring triggers allergic reactions, while weather conditions and environmental factors can influence symptom severity.

Experts note that pollen concentrations are particularly high in the morning and on windy days. Additionally, air pollution and climate change may extend and intensify allergy season.
