The Culprits: Unveiling the Allergy All-Stars (and Not-So-All-Stars)
Tree Pollen: These leafy little ninjas are currently wreaking havoc, especially in the extreme category according to AccuWeather [insert dramatic music here]. So if your eyes are itchy and your nose feels like it's auditioning for a sprinkler system, blame the trees!
Grass and Ragweed: Thankfully, these seasonal stinkers are taking a vacation at the moment, with a low count. But keep them on your radar, especially come fall when ragweed likes to make a not-so-grand entrance.
QuickTip: Break reading into digestible chunks.
Dust Mites and Mold: Ah, the joys of indoor allergens. Dust mites love to party in your comfy pillows and bedding, while mold can lurk in damp corners. High dust mite levels are something to consider, so crank up the vacuum cleaner and maybe invest in some dust mite covers for your mattress.
Bonus Round: What about those weird San Diego allergies?
QuickTip: Skim first, then reread for depth.
Ever get sniffly after a day at the beach? It might not be mermaids (although that would be a story!), but ocean breezes can stir up dust and pollen, leading to irritation.
