Is it a cold or allergies? What you need to know about allergies
Runny noses and watery eyes are a hallmark of spring for many allergy sufferers, but late summer and early autumn can be just as troublesome.
Mariam Hanna, an assistant clinical professor in the Department of Pediatrics at McMaster University, knows better than most how environmental allergies can turn a beautiful day into a real struggle.
An allergist and immunologist, Hanna says late summer and early autumn are uniquely challenging times for allergy sufferers. The culprit? Ragweed, a flowering plant that produces large amounts of pollen. In fact, ragweed is so good at producing pollen, a single plant can dispatch up to a billion grains in one season.
In this video, Hanna explains what you need to know about late summer and fall allergies.
