A Challenging August and September
We’re on the edge of a challenging August and September.?As students return to school, on the horizon is a brutal ragweed allergy season, wildfire smoke from an increasing number of fires burning hundreds of thousands of acres in the West and dispersing impactful smoke to over 60% plus of the country, and now a forecast for a plethora of hurricanes, many severe, that will threaten the US.?And, all of this amidst a pandemic that is now rebounding instead of retreating.
Certainly the wearing of masks to prevent COVID has the ancillary benefit of protecting you from allergies, protecting you from wildfire smoke, and protecting from mold, but this requires diligence.?But, masks alone are not sufficient when facing multiple allergens and irritant impacts that build upon each other to reach symptom threshold, the point at which you experience acute symptoms.?
