The summertime is often a wonderful time for doing things outside, but it's also the worst time of year for people who suffer from allergies. Individuals with allergies may experience symptoms such as sneezing, itchy eyes, and a runny nose when the weather is warm because warm weather brings an increase in the amount of pollen and other allergens. However, there are measures that can be taken to reduce your contact with these irritants and protect yourself from experiencing allergy symptoms.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), seasonal flu activity is high across the country. Some are referring to the triple threat as it being a tripledemic season. Yet, that's not the only issue people are dealing with because there are also many cases of COVID and common respiratory viruses that send people to urgent care centers. People must know how to protect themselves this winter.
