Mold Spore Counts and Weed Pollen are usually higher in the fall. Ragweed is one of the most common fall allergen in the region. It is a well - known cause for seasonal allergic rhinitis or hayfever. During this season, mold counts rise due to the outdoor mold growth on logs and fallen leaves. But can also cause symptoms year round due to moist indoor areas like a bathroom or basement. How Long Do Such Allergies Last? The fall allergy season will last through October. Usually, Ragweed pollen begins blooming in late July and lasts through the first frost of the season i.e, typically in October in some of the regions. However, depending on what you are allergic to, your symptoms may last longer. What Are The Symptoms Of Severe Allergies? Some of the symptoms are sinus congestion, runny nose, post-nasal drip, sneezing and coughing etc. Treatment for Fall Allergies Allergy skin testing is the gold standard and most reliable form of testing. It is a simple series of tiny scratches made on the back. It is performed with a small instrument similar to a plastic toothpick. It may contain trace amounts of a single allergen, such as mold, pollen, dust mite etc. If the results are positive, a small reaction on the skin occurs, usually within 20 to 25 minutes. In case the test in inconclusive, additional testing on the arm may be done to help identify allergens when skin test results. Depending on the results of the testing, the Allergists at Allergy and Asthma Center will determine the best way to treat your allergy symptoms. This blog post originally posted on:
