If you’re like me, you might be bracing yourself for the 2023 allergy season, which, according to multiple news outlets, is going to be more intense than ever. Though spring brings warmer temperatures, more daylight and a chance to finally pull out the sandals that have been stored away in my closet for months, it also has the worst companion: pollen.
As we get further into spring, we’ll start seeing more and more flowers, bees and yellow blankets of pollen to which my immune system never reacts well. Growing up in Georgia, I was always surrounded by pollen-filled pine trees, and even when I visit now I have to keep several items on hand to make sure I can survive (hello, lifetime supply of Claritin). Itchy eyes, a scratchy throat, stuffy nose and sneezing are a couple common symptoms of seasonal allergies, and more specifically, allergies caused by pollen.
But even though these symptoms are often disruptive and annoying, I’m going to let you in on a couple of the products I use to make it through the spring and others that reviewers swear by, including nasal spray, a highly rated air purifier and face masks to cover your mouth and nose. If you’re bracing yourself for a rough spring, check them out below for a hopefully less intense allergy season.
