Sneezing, coughing and itchy eyes...allergy season is coming!
Spring is finally here, but after a long winter
Dr. Benny Wong, allergist and immunologist at North York General Hospital, notes that allergy season may have a late start.
"In spring when trees typically pollinate, people experience symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes," Dr. Wong explains. "The ice storm this winter along with fluctuating temperatures could mean that trees pollinate later into grass season."
