Why Fall Hits Hard Here
Ragweed grows everywhere in the Northeast and one plant releases a billion grains. Leaf mold adds a second wave in October. Rain clears the air for a day; wind brings it back.
What Works
Start a steroid nasal spray two weeks before your usual symptoms. Non-drowsy antihistamines daily. Shower and change after time outside. Keep windows shut on windy days.
When a House Call Helps
A bad flare with hives or wheeze: antihistamine and steroid injections at home ($599). An allergy panel drawn at home finds the trigger.
