What are the most common allergens (triggers)?
Pasha Sinus and Allergy Center focuses on the allergens most common to Texas.
Many allergy sufferers react to the pollen of weeds, trees, and grasses.
Early springtime allergens are often from pollens or trees e.g. oak, maple, elm, alder, and birch.
Late spring allergies often come from grasses. Ragweed is the most common culprit in weed allergies and occurs primarily in late August until the first frost or late October.
Flowery plants tend to have heavy pollens and do not stay airborne, thus are not a common cause of allergies.
