There is a new study that relates allergies to global change. Researchers have said that it is especially true for people who suffer from pollen allergies. Research from a Denver allergist by the name of Richard Weber says that trees, grasses, and weeds bring out more pollen over more weeks when temperatures and carbon dioxide levels rise. Weber and his colleagues at the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology suggest that people with allergies and asthma can slowly help with the climate change by driving less and using energy-efficient appliances. They also suggest that you change your environment in your house. Some suggestions are to reduce indoor molding, undertake pest control procedures, and clean your house more often.
I don't totally agree with this article because I've been hearing that there is no such thing as global warming, and am starting to believe that. But, I do agree that the environment you spend your time in (such as your house) needs changes, and can help maintain your allergies.
