Be Prepared for Allergy Season with a Vornado Air Purifier Posted By : Ethan Luke3

Seasonal allergies are a nightmare; never-ending sneezing and runny nose coupled with chronic sinus pain can ruin the productivity and mood of any day.



The key to managing seasonal allergies is figuring out exactly what’s triggering your symptoms: trees? Grass? Ragweed? Pollen? Mold? Animals? Work with your doctor to identify your specific allergy triggers; then you can figure out your allergy season.



Where you live plays a huge role in when your allergy season starts. In general, the further south you live, the earlier it begins. Remember that the start and finish of allergy seasons can vary by year. Here’s a look by region:



North

The allergy season in the northern United States typically starts later than the rest of the country. The Northwest is a safe haven for ragweed sufferers, because it lacks ragweed.



Trees – February to June in the Northwest; March to June for other northern states

Grasses – May to August

Ragweed – No season in the Northwest; August to October for other northern states

• Mold – Does not fluctuate by season



Midwest and Great Plains



Allergy season in the Midwest in typically a little shorter than in the South, but grass pollen rages in the summer.



Trees – February to June

Grasses – May to August

Ragweed – August to October

• Mold – Does not fluctuate by season



South

Southern states enjoy warmer climates, but they also experience plants pollinating earlier in the year than the rest of the country. Additionally, they don’t get frost until late in the year, extending the allergy season.



Trees – January to June

Grasses – April to September for central southern states; March to October for Southeast and Southwest

• Ragweed – August to November in most Southern states; the deep South may get hit as early as July

• Mold – June to August
