Canada’s Allergy Seasons Are Getting Longer: What’s Driving It and How to Cope

If you’ve been waking up with a pounding head, a stuffy nose, and itchy eyes, you’re not alone—across Canada, allergy season is hitting harder and stretching longer. In this episode we explain what’s changed (warmer, longer seasons mean more and stronger pollen), why some regions and polluted cities are worse off, and the real health impacts, from constant congestion to asthma flare-ups. Practical tips: track daily pollen, keep windows closed on high-pollen days, use indoor air purifiers, and see a healthcare provider for persistent symptoms. Understanding these shifts helps you manage and stay ahead.
