AUSTIN - You may be enjoying the beautiful weather, but so are the trees. The number of trees pollinating multiplied overnight, resulting in the largest spring pollen numbers recorded this season by the First Warning Weather team.
Including mold, there were a total of 10 pollen sources in Wednesday’s count, which is by far the most since last spring.
Many allergy sufferers are feeling the effects, with itchy eyes, sore throats, sneezing and sinus symptoms. Allergists recommend allergy medication, or if symptoms are severe, a visit to your doctor.
