Climate Change Extends New England's Allergy Season | JQJO

A prolonged allergy season in New England is affecting many, with symptoms starting earlier and lasting longer than usual. Doctors attribute this to climate change, causing longer growing seasons in the South, leading to earlier pollen arrival in the Northeast. Increased carbon dioxide levels also boost pollen production. While pollen levels are similar to last year, the extended season intensifies symptoms for many allergy sufferers. Experts recommend proactive treatment with nasal sprays before symptoms appear.
