Allergist at St. David’s North Austin Medical Center, Dr. John Villacis, told KXAN about pollen levels in the Lone Star State:

“Ragweed is a big fall allergen...We’re seeing some levels of it already, and it usually spikes by probably the first week or two of October.”

But, there are multiple things that cause something like pollen to be a bit more annoying.

What Causes Pollen To Be Move Prevalent In Texas?

According to Dr. Villacis,“Pollination tends to be highest in the early morning hours.” So he recommends that people who have severe allergies make adjustments so they avoid that. But, it's more than just mornings that people with allergies need to pay attention.

The colder weather that's coming to the state, that many are anticipating, also has effects on the amount of pollen in the air. Due to winds that come wild the cold, pollen is shaken off the trees and is more prevalent.

So, it looks like we're going to have to prepare for another annoying allergy season in Texas it looks like. Ugh!
