If you’re someone with seasonal allergies, you know that spring can be a mixed bag. 

Along with the warm temperatures, sunshine and fresh air comes the sneezing, itchy eyes, congestion and fatigue. 

And if your allergies seem worse than ever this year, you’re not imagining things. Experts say allergy season is starting earlier, hitting harder and lasting longer — largely due to climate change.
