San Antonio, Texas, is famous for its rich culture, delicious Tex-Mex cuisine, and—unfortunately—its brutal allergy seasons. If you feel like you have been sneezing all season, you’re not imagining things. Because of the warm climate and pollen-packed air, San Antonio allergies are no joke.
For allergy sufferers, checking the pollen count is a game changer. It helps people know when to take precautions to avoid a full-blown allergy flare-up. High pollen levels can make even a short trip outside feel miserable, while low counts might offer a rare breath of relief.
In this guide, we’ll break down what pollen counts really mean, when seasonal allergies in San Antonio hit the hardest, and, most importantly, how to fight back. Ready to breathe easier? Let’s get started.
