What causes summer allergies?<\/strong><\/p>\n

You may have never experienced allergies before, but one of the unique features about this condition is that it can start at any age of a person\u2019s life during any time of the year. Most people think allergy season is relegated to the spring season, but this myth is inaccurate. Common allergy triggers in the summer include mold and pollen, but fresh fruits and veggies can also cause allergies to flare up. An allergic reaction to fresh produce in the summer is not often a food intolerance; it is most likely food pollen syndrome. You\u2019ll need to see a board-certified allergist to confirm a diagnosis.<\/p>\n

You may think you have a summer cold, but Dr. Michael Foggs, president of the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology (ACAAI) encourages you to examine your overall appearance and seek professional help.
