There are three main sources of summer allergy symptoms – grass pollen, weed pollen and mold spores:
As summer begins, grass pollens are active and weed pollen will take over and cause allergy symptoms as fall begins. This type of pollen may prevent you from enjoying outdoors activities, if you have airborne allergies, and activities may need to be scheduled later in the day, when pollen levels are lower.
Mold spores are a leading cause of outdoor airborne allergies and thrive in the summertime. Mold spores can be found in compost piles, cut grass, wooded areas, fallen leaves, soil, debris and other moist surfaces.
