About Seasonal Allergies

Are you one of the many who requires seasonal allergy treatment year after year? Allergic reactions occur when your body thinks it’s fighting off harmful invaders, like bacteria and illness, but what ends up happening is it reacts too strongly, producing symptoms like a runny nose, sneezing, hives, and so forth. Because these symptoms are similar to those of a cold or flu, many people don’t realize they have seasonal allergies, thinking instead that they have a stubborn illness. Instead, seasonal allergies are brought on by environmental triggers that are most prevalent during a particular season, like pollen, grass, and oak.

Allergies Around Town


Living in Washington Heights, TX, it’s easy to feel allergy symptoms sneak up on you, whether you’re grabbing groceries, walking your dog, or picking the kids up from school. Tree and grass pollen float through the air, especially in spring and fall, leading to sneezing fits, runny noses, and scratchy throats. Even popular spots like neighborhood parks, coffee shops with outdoor seating, or nearby shopping centers can be packed with allergens like ragweed or mold. Everyday errands around Washington Heights can quickly become frustrating when seasonal allergies are in full swing.



Allergies In Nature


Washington Heights may be close to the city, but it’s also not far from some great outdoor escapes. If you’re walking the White Oak Bayou Greenway Trail or spending time at nearby parks like Memorial Park or Buffalo Bayou Park, you might notice your allergies acting up. Nature is beautiful, but it also brings high levels of pollen from native trees, grasses, and weeds. Windy days or early mornings often make things worse. Whether you’re biking, jogging, or having a picnic, outdoor fun near Washington Heights can be tough without good allergy support.
