Fall allergies are often caused by ragweed pollen, which is highly allergenic and easily carried by the wind. Rising temperatures and carbon dioxide levels may extend the ragweed season in the future.

"Combat Fall Allergies with Effective Tips and Remedies"

Fall allergies, also known as seasonal allergic rhinitis or hay fever, affect millions of Americans, with symptoms including stuffy nose, itchy eyes, fatigue, and headache. Ragweed pollen is the most common allergen in the fall, followed by mold allergens. The convergence of outdoor and indoor allergens, along with respiratory viruses, makes fall a challenging season for allergy sufferers. Climate change is also exacerbating allergies, with ragweed spreading to new locations and longer pollination seasons. To cope with fall allergies, experts recommend getting tested for specific allergies, wearing masks during outdoor activities, staying indoors on high pollen days, washing face and clothes after outdoor exposure, using saline nasal sprays or sinus rinses, considering immunotherapy for severe symptoms, and using over-the-counter antihistamines and nasal steroid sprays cautiously.
