As fall allergy season intensifies across various regions, Richmond and Atlanta are particularly affected by elevated ragweed pollen levels, exacerbated by climate change. Richmond ranks among the worst cities for seasonal allergies, with ragweed being the primary allergen, while Atlanta sees high pollen counts from ragweeds, chenopods, and nettles. Both cities report a rise in allergy-related symptoms, including fatigue, itchy eyes, and respiratory issues. Additionally, there is a growing concern about the increasing prevalence of adult-onset food allergies, attributed to factors such as hyper-sanitization and changes in food processing. Health experts suggest using newer antihistamines for relief and highlight the importance of pollen forecasting efforts by NOAA. Overall, worsening allergy seasons are a nationwide concern, prompting public health discussions and research into effective management strategies.
