Manage Your Summer and Fall Allergies with Expert Care
As summer winds down and fall approaches, allergy sufferers in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania often face new challenges. Ragweed pollen, mold spores, and other late-season allergens can cause persistent symptoms that disrupt daily life.
Common Summer and Fall Allergens by Region
- New York (Westchester, Bronx, Queens): Ragweed pollen peaks in late August through September, causing sneezing, itchy eyes, and congestion. Fall mold spores from damp leaves also contribute.
- New Jersey (Bergen, Hudson): Ragweed is a major trigger along with outdoor molds that thrive in the cooler, moist fall weather.
- Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, Bucks): Similar allergens dominate, with ragweed and mold spores increasing in the fall.
Tips to Reduce Allergy Symptoms
- Limit outdoor activities during peak ragweed pollen times (early morning and late afternoon).
- Keep windows closed and use air purifiers at home.
- Regularly clean damp areas to reduce mold growth.
- Shower and change clothes after outdoor exposure to remove pollen.
