Your Philly Seasonal Allergy Survival Guide
If you’re sniffling and sneezing a lot right now, you’re not alone. Tree and grass pollen numbers are high in the city, and expected to last for a few more weeks. So, we’re revisiting a conversation between executive producer Laura Benshoff and Dr. Marc Goldstein, allergist and immunologist at The Asthma Center, about why allergy season in Philly is starting earlier and earlier each year, how long it will last, and what you can do to find some relief.
