No, this isn’t an April Fools' joke, your allergies are worse than you think! 🤧 New data from the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America ranks Rochester as the 5th most challenging place to live with allergies. Yep… top five! 😬

The good news? There are some simple ways to keep symptoms under control this season:
• Check the pollen count daily
• Use a saline nasal rinse
• Shower before bed to wash off allergens
• Take allergy medication

Allergy season is here. Stay ahead of it and breathe a little easier. https://urmc.info/2lt
