Higher pollen counts, more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and fewer days below freezing are among the factors that have made the spring allergy season longer and more severe, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America's 2025 report. This is bad news for the 100 million Americans who have some form of allergies or asthma.
PBS News’ Tim McPhillips spoke to allergist and immunologist Dr. Zachary Rubin, creator of the popular TikTok and Instagram channel @rubin_allergy, to explain what's making allergy conditions worse and how you can make spring a bit less stuffy.
