Allergy season becoming longer and stronger due to climate change

Allergy season is becoming longer and stronger due to climate change, warns a new study. As temperatures rise, plants produce more pollen, packing a stronger allergen punch than ever before. This is bad news for the millions of Americans who suffer from allergies each year. According to the study, we can expect allergy season to begin earlier and last longer than before. In some areas, it could start as early as February and continue until October. Experts say that allergy sufferers can expect worse symptoms as well, making it harder to go about their day-to-day lives.

But why is this happening? The answer lies in the warming planet. As global temperatures rise, spring arrives sooner, prompting plants to begin their seasonal growth earlier. This starts the pollination process and leads to higher pollen counts, making allergies more severe. Additionally, carbon dioxide levels in the air have risen by about 30 percent since the Industrial Revolution, which may also contribute to stronger allergens.

Allergy season has already started impacting people’s lives. Those who suffer from allergies may find themselves struggling to breathe, develop rashes, suffer from constant sneezing, and even experience fatigue. Unfortunately, experts predict that this trend will continue, affecting millions of Americans with allergies.

Allergy season’s longer and stronger effects are yet another reason why we need to take climate change seriously. Our planet is changing before our eyes, and we need to act fast so that future generations do not face more severe consequences. People should mitigate by minimizing pollen exposure, staying indoors on high-pollen days, wearing protective gear, and maintaining healthy cleaning habits.
