The Laborers Health & Wellness clinics are here for you and all of your allergy care and well-being needs.

Watery eyes, congestion and an itchy throat are all possible symptoms of an environmental allergy. This incredibly common condition affects millions of Americans. It’s possible to develop allergies later in life – even if you never had them as a child.

Seasonal allergies

Allergens that are present or at higher levels at certain times of the year are referred to as seasonal allergies. Common triggers for outdoor seasonal allergies include tree and grass pollen, ragweed pollen and mold spores. As they grow, plants and mold release pollen and spores into the air. When you breathe in pollen and spores, it can cause inflammation, irritation and other symptoms.

For some, symptoms may be just a case of the sneezes a couple times a year. But for others, seasonal allergies can cause congestion; a runny, itchy nose; watery eyes, headaches and more for weeks or months at a time. Spring allergy season can start as early as March.

Year-round allergies

Year-round allergies to dust mites, pets and mold can also develop in adulthood. Dust mites like bedding, carpet, stuffed animals and furniture. So if you have a dust mite allergy, it’s possible to have allergy issues throughout the year.
