Most trees release their pollen in spring and fall. But in Texas, the Ashe Juniper tree releases its cedar pollen during the winter. The phenomenon, known as “cedar fever,” lasts from about mid-December to mid-February.
If you suffer from allergies and live anywhere within the strip of central Texas that stretches from the Red River to the Rio Grande, you probably already know the misery.
Certain weather conditions can maximize the pollen count. Strong surface winds help release the pollen from the trees. If temperatures are warm, that helps to lift the pollen into the air. Strong winds and warm air are both in the forecast in the weeks ahead.The symptoms can start very suddenly so that it seems almost flu-like.
Cedar fever symptoms may include itchy, watery, red eyes; nasal congestion, runny nose and sinus pressure; sneezing; sore throat and fatigue.Cedar Fever treatment can start with limiting your exposure to the pollen as much as possible by staying indoors, dusting and vacuuming to rid the living spaces of the pollen as much as possible. Start with over-the-counter medications to treat your symptoms. Your medical provider can provide suggestions as to which may be most effective.
