Unseasonably warm temperatures in certain parts of the United States may be causing some folks to experience particularly severe allergy symptoms. According to CBS 5 AZ, a Phoenix, Arizona news outlet, weeds have grown in abundance due to the mild weather and have been exacerbating allergy issues.
"Weed seed is inherently in all soils. They don't need much soil to propagate in, so if you get warmer temperatures like we're enjoying right now, it begins that germination process," Gary Hirsch of EnviroScape Services, LLC explained to the news outlet.
So, what can people in Phoenix do to get a handle on their allergies this year? Experts recommend starting allergy medications before symptoms get too severe so that these treatments have time to take effect. This is especially important for people who suffer from asthma, as allergies can cause symptoms of the chronic respiratory disease to worsen.
"Allergies and asthma, they go hand in hand. So people who have asthma, it's very, very important for them to control their allergies so that their asthma doesn't become a problem," Dr. Jamie Beckman told the source.
According to WebMD, 55 percent of the U.S. population tests positive to one or more allergens. If you're one of these individuals, you know first hand how these irritants can affect your quality of life. Fortunately, there are allergy solutions you can invest in that may make a huge difference around your house immediately.
