I never experienced allergies until the spring of last year.  This year I would like to know what to do if and when my allergies come back.  Does anyone have any suggestions on first steps.

    If you go to www.aaaai.org and put pollen counts in the search, you can see the specific amounts of each tree, weed, grass, and mold pollen.  I tracked this on my worst days, and was able to find out which pollens bothered me.  Then I could treat them accordingly.  Many people develop allergies as they age (and to get them in the 20's and 30's is very common).

An allergy is the immune system's over-reaction to a normally harmless substance called an allergen.
