When is Florida Allergy Season?
Florida doesn’t have freezing winters or dry summers, meaning allergies can thrive year-round. Depending on your allergies, you may not have issues during certain seasons. If you’re allergic to multiple allergens, you may suffer from symptoms all year. We'll break down the allergies by season.
Allergens by Season
Though Florida allergies are present all year, some allergens are more prominent based on the season. Let’s take a look:
Summer
Summer allergies in Florida will primarily respond to grass and w**d allergens. Ragw**d, dog fennel, sorrel, and dock tend to cause the most issues for allergy sufferers in summer.
Fall
W**d and grass allergies will persist throughout fall in Florida, with ragw**d being the main culprit. Fall typically marks the beginning of oak and pine allergies in Florida as well. Those with mold allergies will also want to take precautions when fall weather arrives since mold tends to thrive when conditions are cool and damp.
Winter
Those with grass and w**d allergies may start to get some relief once winter hits. The biggest allergen for Floridians in winter will be tree pollen. Certain species of oak and pine will spread pollen in the early months of winter and can continue into the spring season.
Spring
Tree allergies are in full swing once spring hits. River birch, bayberry, elm, oak, and maple are the trees that tend to cause people the most trouble in the spring months. Of course, w**d and grass allergies also tend to start back up in spring, making spring one of the worst allergy seasons.
Common Allergens
In Florida, as in most regions, grass, w**d, and trees are the cause of most common seasonal allergies. Florida’s accommodating weather can mean these allergy seasons to extend a little longer than in states with colder weather. Smoke, insect bites, dust, mold, and pollution are also common allergens in Florida.
Common Symptoms
Florida residents can expect to experience several common allergy symptoms. These symptoms include:
Runny nose
Coughing
Congestion
Sneezing
Headaches
Scratchy throat
Itchy eyes
Watery eyes
Hives
Asthma symptoms
As always, reactions will vary from person to person, but as a whole, allergies will cause one or more of these symptoms to occur.
When a person exhibits acute or persistent allergy-like symptoms, a blood test called the allergen-specific IgE antibody test can assist determine whether they are allergic to a particular drug or substances. This is especially true if additional family members are known to have allergies and if symptoms are persistent and seem to be linked to triggers, such as exposure to specific foods or settings.
