What Triggers Spring Allergies?
Throughout New Jersey, the spring months are known for high levels of pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds. This pollen is the main cause of discomfort for allergy sufferers during this period.
Adults can develop allergies at any time, so even if you haven't had problems in the past, it's good to be aware of the symptoms.
