Emory professor advises Georgians on how to control their allergies amid pollen season

Research suggests seasonal allegories are triggered when a person’s body has an allergic reaction to the environment. Georgia’s allergy season officially stretches from early spring to late fall. However, according to Atlanta Allergy & Asthma’s Pollen counter, pollen has started to spike as early as February this year.

On Friday’s edition of “Closer Look,” Emory School of Medicine assistant professor Pedro Lamothe discusses the severity of pollen season, the health risks and what Georgians can do to guard themselves for the rest of the season.
