LYNDON - Unfortunately for you allergy suffers of the northeast kingdom this season for sniffles and puffy eyes is set to start a week earlier and end up to a month later than normal season. This is due to the high participation in the winter months and the rapid influx of warmer weather. Which causes most plants to go haywire and produce more of that pesky pollen.

Chris Martin an Allergy Sufferer in St Johnsbury is very allergic to pollen and has had it since childhood, pollen is one of the most common allergies. Symptoms of an allergic reaction to pollen included sneezing, itchy eyes, soar throat, nasal congestion, runny nose, and a mild cough some even have trouble tasting food “I cant smell or taste food during allergy season” Martin Said. Some easy things you can do to make sure you can avoid as much pollen inhalation as possible is, keep windows closed in your house and turn on a fan, use the air conditioner in your car as opposed to opening the widows. Another tip that can help is by not spending as much tome outside in the morning. Pollen is at its highest count in the early hours of the day. You can also see your doctor who can either prescribe or recommend over the counter medication to help cope with the symptoms. Demertrios Papathanasiou a severe allergy sufferer deals with this every spring “its frustrating and annoying and it really slows me down” Papathanasiou said and over the counter remedies can become a real burden on your wallet as well. “I take Claritin but that can get pretty expensive for 22 tablets I usually pay about $22” Papathanasiou said “ but if I don’t take it my day is just a disaster"
