After a wet April, this year’s allergy season in the Willamette Valley seemed like it might be delayed.

It’s grass pollen season in the Willamette Valley. For many residents that means itchy eyes, congestion, sneezing, and other allergy symptoms.

While many people are getting out gardening gloves this time of year, some are reaching for the tissue box.

This allergy season’s pollen count has broken records as well as some Oregonians’ Kleenex budget. And climate change means extreme sneezing and sniffling fits will likely become the norm.

Dry, itchy eyes? Runny nose, sneezing? If you’re in the Willamette Valley and you’re experiencing any of those symptoms, it might be due to the extraordinarily high grass pollen counts in the valley. Dr. Kraig Jacobson is Medical Director at Oregon Allergy Associates in Eugene. He spoke with KLCC’s Rachael McDonald about what’s causing the record number of allergens.
