Fall Allergies Nearing End as First Frost Approaches
US · Published Oct 27, 2026
• As the fall season progresses, outdoor allergens are reaching their peak before the first killing frost, typically occurring in the last week of October.
• According to Sara Wilson-Rector, APRN at Premier Health, this year's fall allergy season has been particularly challenging due to increased pollen levels caused by heavy summer rains in the Miami Valley.

Impact & Risks

Fall allergies are significantly affecting individuals prone to seasonal allergens, particularly those sensitive to ragweed and mold. The increased pollen levels have led to a surge in doctor visits, with many patients experiencing severe symptoms. The ongoing agricultural harvest is further contributing to the spread of allergens, making it a particularly difficult season for allergy sufferers. Without proper management, these symptoms can disrupt daily activities and overall well-being.
