Boston, May 13: Seasonal allergies are hitting hard across the United States in 2025, and if you're finding yourself sneezing non-stop, you're not alone. Experts point to climate change as a key factor, with warmer temperatures and increased CO2 levels extending pollen seasons and making symptoms more intense. The combination of rising temperatures, pollution, and urbanization has created an allergy storm in many cities, making it feel like you're constantly battling pollen just by stepping outside.

According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA), several U.S. cities top the list for the worst pollen levels, with places like Kansas City, Memphis, and Louisville leading the charge in allergy misery this year.

The result? Pollen is stickier, lingers in the air longer, and triggers stronger reactions. So, what can you do about it if you live in one of these high-allergy cities? Experts recommend proactive measures like starting your allergy medications early, keeping your windows shut during peak pollen hours, and showering after being outside to rinse off pollen.

Additionally, checking the daily pollen forecast and consulting an allergist for personalized treatments like immunotherapy can help provide relief.
