If this sounds like you, you might be wondering what’s going on. This allergy season is particularly brutal, and your symptoms just seem worse because you were inside and not exposed to many allergens in spring 2020?

According to allergists, it’s not just you. allergies are worse this year. Here’s the deal — and how to find some relief:

Allergy season is now 10 days longer than it was in 1990, and trees, grass, and weeds are producing 21% more pollen. More pollen means more runny noses, watery eyes, and itchy throats.
