Aller-Geeeeez

Thought you were in the clear from Spring and Summer Allergies?  Having a hard time catching a breath in between sneezes?  You’re not crazy.  It’s the RAGWEED and it’s just awful this year.  Fall Fail.

2013 has been a record for rainfall in the Northeast.*  The initial reaction is assuming that the rain will dampen and stomp out the pollen fluttering through the air, but it is actually breaking it all open and lengthening the allergy season.  So the next time you complain about allergies and someone says that you’re crazy, tell them it’s just not true.

If you have a secret weapon that helps against the ragweed, please post it here for us fellow itchy allergic readers!  It will be much appreciated!  Achoo!
