According to The St. Louis American, global warming may be to blame for the seemingly endless allergy season that we currently find ourselves in. In fact, the further north you live, the longer the season tends to go on. Generally higher temperatures around the country means plants are releasing more pollen than usual into the air, which is why it often feels like there's no end in sight.

Ragweed, one of the most potent allergens out there, is beginning to pop up this season. It's estimated that just one plant can release up to a billion pollen spores. Multiply that by thousands of plants in a given area, and you've got some serious allergens floating in the air.

If you're looking for relief from allergies, there are many steps you can take to improve your situation. One effective method is using allergy-free pillows to ensure that allergens don't bother you while you sleep at night. By observing healthy sleeping habits, you can make your allergy suffering a thing of the past!
