What can influence the severity of the allergy season?
Weather can influence the timing and severity of the allergy season. A mild winter often leads to a more severe pollen season. The grass season varies the most. If the spring is warmer and wetter than usual, then more grass grows, which leads to a more severe season during the late spring and summer. However, rain can have benefits, as well. For instance, rain can wash pollen that has already been released out of the air. Question: My husband suffers from asthma and allergies but hasn’t had trouble with either since we moved to Colorado. However, we want to go to a place to dance and we have been warned that it will be smoky. Will he probably need an inhaler for this? What do you suggest? Answer: Irritants such as cigarette smoke can trigger asthma and nasal symptoms. Therefore, if you are going to be exposed to irritants like smoke, dust, or other air pollution it is wise to take along your rescue inhaler and take it at the first symptoms.
