NJ allergy sufferers expected to find relief this season

HHS.gov

Some good news for New Jersey allergy sufferers. Levels of pollen are not expected to be nearly as bad as they were last year, when they were higher than normal. AccuWeather is predicting “average” levels of all three types of pollen that trigger allergy symptoms — tree pollen in the spring, grass pollen in the early to mid-summer, and weed pollen in the late summer and early fall. If you do have allergies, one tip from allergy experts is to take medication before pollen season starts, this will prevent your body from releasing those histamines that make people miserable.
