SAN ANTONIO – Many of us are suffering from allergies right now. While mountain cedar may be the current problem, Dr. Dennis Dilley says there’ll be something new to deal with come spring.
“The one that is most problematic for people is live oak,” explains Dr. Dilley, and allergy specialist here in San Antonio. “That's the one that coats your car and your sidewalk with that yellow residue, and that's the one that makes people very miserable. They have itchy eyes and we'll see a lot of asthma problems during that time. Kids will have a lot of wheezing.”
You can expect to see live oak in mid to late march.
Before live oak hits, people will start feeling the effects of the ash tree right after Valentines Day.
While there are many places such as the Midwest that get a break from allergies, San Antonians suffer all year long. The best thing Dr. Dilley says you can do is come up with a preventative plan with your allergist before you start suffering.
