The United States is experiencing an intensified allergy season, primarily due to the effects of climate change. Warmer temperatures and increased air pollutants are leading to more potent pollen and a longer pollen season, which exacerbates allergic reactions across the country. According to Dr. Stephanie Mawhirt from NYU Langone, these conditions are prolonging the pollen season and intensifying its impact on allergy sufferers. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicates that approximately 25% of adults and 20% of children in the U.S. experience seasonal allergies, with many finding their standard medications less effective.
