Airborne Irritants
In addition to pollen, springtime can also introduce other airborne irritants that worsen allergy symptoms. Mold spores thrive in damp, humid conditions, which are prevalent during the spring months. Dust mites and pet dander, common indoor allergens, can also exacerbate allergies when homes are opened up for ventilation during the spring. The presence of multiple allergens in the air can overload the immune system, leading to heightened allergic responses.
