You know it's allergy season when the weather report starts to include pollen or mold counts. But in truth, the allergy season really never ends. Allergy specialists note that the indoor allergy season is in effect year-round, with dust mites, dander from pets, and mold being the main causes. The outdoor allergy season occurs when plant life releases pollen or when outdoor mold spores develop and travel through the air.

Some specialists are predicting this year's outdoor allergy season will be worse than ever for millions of allergy sufferers. The culprit? Extreme weather conditions that resulted in record rainfalls, which caused pollen levels to skyrocket.
