Spring Allergies | Covenant Allergy and Asthma

For many Chattanoogans, spring allergies are a far too uncomfortable part of life. But do you ever wonder what’s going on to cause your spring symptoms? Covenant Allergy and Asthma wants to help you understand what’s happening outdoors in spring so you can have a better understanding of your allergies. Here’s your month-by-month guide.

March
Tree pollen is the key offender. This marks the beginning of spring when everyone wants to spend more time outdoors, but the pollen from trees and grasses are typically high. Let the National Allergy Bureau of the American Academy of Allergy Asthma & Immunology keep you posted on the latest pollen counts do you know when you might need to avoid going outside if possible.

April
Yes, it’s true the rain is good for spring flowers, but as a result that also means more allergies. Grass pollen is sometimes quite high in April, too. For many folks who struggle with seasonal allergies, April is one of the worst months to be outside.

May
Tree pollen will frequently last through May and team up with grass pollen which means most people will battle spring allergies through this month too.

June
Grass pollen, long days, and higher temperatures mean more allergy symptoms as you increase the amount of time you spend outside. In June, most allergy sufferers will have both good and bad have days. You’ll likely need to adjust accordingly to various factors on a daily basis.
