Cooler mornings don’t necessarily mean the end of allergy season.

Ragweed pollen can remain in the air through September and into October—especially when warmer weather delays the first frost. Sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes or an allergy-related cough can continue long after summer ends.

If fall symptoms are interfering with sleep, school, work or outdoor activities, it may be time for a more effective plan.

Tiny pollen. A very big reaction. 🌿

Ragweed season in Central New York can turn a beautiful late-summer day into sneezing, itchy eyes and congestion. If your symptoms keep returning, it may be time to look beyond another box of tissues.
