If you're looking forward to beautiful days outdoors, you might want to stay indoors if you suffer from allergies. Pollen is super high in Florida right now and February marks the peak for tree pollen season.
If you've noticed an increase in sniffling and sneezing, that might be an indication that you are reacting to Florida's green pollen. Pollen is so high right now that people have been noticing cars outside covered in a green layer of dusty pollen.
People with allergies can be prone to health issues when in contact with pollen. An increase in cold, respiratory tract infections, asthma, and eye problems can arise when the pollen appears. It's recommended to see a doctor in case over-the-counter medication is not working.
