Cedar Causes Allergies to Compound in Texas

As if your allergies weren't bad enough, Mountain Cedar unleashes before Juniper dies down.

A helpful article written in the Fort Worth Star Telegram about Allergies in DFW, discusses the compounding effects of fall allergens that are supposed to be over by now mixing with allergens released in the colder winter months. Due to the unexpected cooling and warming trends that the holiday season has brought this year allergy sufferers are getting a double whammy. 

Mountain Cedar pollen, which doesn't usually appear until early January, was released as early as October with an early series of cold and wet weather. This mixed with the Redberry Juniper which is in full bloom even though it is supposed to be subsiding by now.

Juniper and Cedar Pollen are similar in appearance:

Some things to keep in mind:  

• Dry, windy days stir pollen into the air. 
• The day after a wet, rainy day, more pollen is released than normal
• Pollen sticks to your hair, skin and clothes. Consider showering in the morning and evening, and allow for two changes of clothes.

Consider some Allergy Immunotherapy. You don't need shots any more, now there is a Sublingual (under the tongue) drops.
