When the weather gets warmer and the trees and flowers start to bloom, we see an increase in allergies that can make you miserable, not only when you are out and about, but when you are at home too. If you suffer from fevers or Asthma caused by allergies, there are steps you can take to help reduce the symptoms you experience from allergies.
