Seasonal Allergies and Pollination

Sneezing and itchy eyes are the key signs of seasonal allergies. The cause? Usually pollen. Seasonal allergies, also called hay fever, is when a person is allergic to pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds.

Did you know that trees begin to release pollen as early as winter? In New Mexico juniper tree pollination has already started and peaks in March.

You can find some relief from allergies by reducing how much pollen you are exposed to. How? Simple things like frequently washing your hands and face and taking off your shoes before you go inside your home can help. We offer more information about allergies and tips for minimizing seasonal allergy symptoms here.
