Hay Fever Time Again in Iowa Fields
Hay fever will begin with sneezing and itchy eyes as ragweed pollen blooms across Iowa, with peak misery from mid August to first frost. Health officials advise cutting ragweed before blooming or pulling roots, or using chemical weed killers, while noting relief comes from medicine or air filters. A physician’s guidance is essential as there is no simple cure. A series of yearly injections may reduce sensitivity for some time.
