Newswise — The wet, warm winter will most likely cause a robust allergy season this spring, according to UAB allergist James Bonner, M.D. "The wet winter has already boosted pollen production in trees. And while continued wet weather in early spring will dampen and wash out the effects of tree pollen, it also will boost grass pollen, which is a more troublesome allergen for most people."
In the Southeast, trees began to pollinate in the first weeks of March, while grasses will make their presence known later in spring, throughout April and May.
