With the beautiful colors and cooler weather, autumn is a wonderful season here in the Whitewater Valley. However, it's also the start of the second allergy season. Ragweed pollen is a major culprit this time of year, and even after the first frost, mold from decomposing leaves can still be a problem.

- Start early! Don't wait for symptoms to begin. Over-the-counter antihistamines and nasal sprays are often most effective when you start taking them a week or two before your symptoms usually appear.
- Keep pollen out. Keep your windows closed, especially in the mornings when pollen counts are typically highest. Use your air conditioner to keep things cool and clean.
- Clean up. After spending time outdoors, change your clothes and take a shower to wash pollen out of your hair and off your skin.
- Be mindful of yard work. Raking leaves and mowing the lawn can stir up mold and pollen. If possible, have someone without allergies do these chores. If you must do them yourself, wear a mask and eye protection.
