Ragweed Season Is Back in Texas

Ragweed season is creeping in across Central Texas — and even before counts peak, now's the time to get ahead of it!

Late summer marks the beginning of fall allergy season, and ragweed is one of the biggest culprits. For those who are sensitive, exposure can trigger symptoms that range from mildly annoying to downright miserable.

Common Ragweed Allergy Symptoms

Ragweed pollen can trigger many of the classic seasonal allergy symptoms, including:

• Sneezing
• Runny or stuffy nose
• Itchy, watery eyes
• Scratchy or irritated throat
• Postnasal drip
• Sinus pressure or headaches
• Coughing
• Fatigue or brain fog

And here in Texas, the tricky part is that ragweed may not be the only thing your body is reacting to.
