By Carla Roberts(KUTV) The allergy season comes in waves in Utah. First, it is tree pollens that blow into the region as winter moves out. But now that summer is on Utahs doorstep, grass pollens are causing watery eyes, scratching and sneezing. Grass is definitely a problem here in Utah and most people who come in to see me are allergic to grass, Dr. Scott Taylor, an allergist at Riverton Hospital, says. Dr. Taylor says she sees a lot of new patients every year people who have never had allergies until now. We see some people who dont come in until they are adults because they finally realize it is happening every year, says Dr. Taylor. Dr. Taylor says there are some things you should do if you suffer from allergies. First, keep your windows closed; wear sunglasses and hats; try not to be outdoors in the morning when pollen counts are higher. You may also want to consider allergy testing. And remember, allergy season is far from over. Fall allergies can be especially rough for those who suffer from seasonal allergies. Weeds are a concern. Not all year, but they pollinate in the fall, Dr. Taylor explains.
