Cedar Fever Season Hits Texas: Brace for Allergies

Mountain cedar season has officially begun in San Antonio, triggered by a recent cold front, and will last until mid-February, peaking in mid-January. The pollen, originating from Ashe juniper trees in the Texas Hill Country, causes allergic reactions like itchy eyes and sneezing in many residents. While over-the-counter medications can help, severe cases may require allergy shots. Despite the option to remove cedar trees from private properties, the widespread presence of these trees in the region means pollen will remain a challenge during this season.
