As the leaves change color and the air turns crisp, North Carolina residents eagerly anticipate the beautiful fall season. However, for many, this time of year also brings the challenge of seasonal allergies. In 2024, understanding and managing fall allergies is more crucial than ever, especially as climate change continues to impact pollen production and allergy seasons. Fall allergies can affect both parents and children. If parents have allergies, it’s more likely their children will too. We want to get fall allergies under control since those that have allergies or have family members who do are also more likely to have asthma issues. Read about “What’s New for Families for Fall Allergies this Year” at the link in our bio! 🍂
