The seasonal allergy cycle can begin and end at different times around the country. For example, in warm, southern climates, seasonal allergies can occur as early as January and end as late as November.
Seasonal allergies traditionally fall into three categories:
- Spring - Spring allergies may occur from January to May and may be aggravated by tree pollen, such as: Oak, Maple, Elm, Alder, Birch, Cottonwood, and Juniper.
- Summer - Summer allergies may occur from May to mid-July and are caused by grass pollen, such as: Bermuda, Timothy, Orchard, Sweet Vernal, June, and Johnson.
- Fall - Fall allergies may occur from August to November and are caused by weed pollen such as: Ragweed, Tumbleweed, Pigweed, Fireweed, and Lamb's Quarters.
