The short answer: it depends. In the South, pollen season can start in February and drag into November. In the North, you might get a sweet, short window from April to June, then a brief respite. But then ragweed arrives like a villain in a B-movie, cackling, “You thought it was over? Ha!”

For most people, the worst is over by mid-June, when grass pollen fades. But if you’re allergic to weeds, your nose won’t rest until October. That’s six months of tissues, antihistamines, and avoiding any tree like it’s a biohazard. You start to envy people who live in deserts—until you remember it’s 115°F there.

Survival Tips from a Fellow Sufferer

First, get yourself a neti pot. Yes, it looks like a magic teapot from a fantasy novel, and yes, you have to pour salt water up your nose. It feels weird, but it works. I did it once and felt so clean I considered applying for a job as a nasal air freshener.

Second, change your clothes after being outside. Pollen clings to your jeans like glitter at a craft fair—you can’t see it, but it’s everywhere. I once brought pollen into bed and woke up looking like I’d been in a pillow fight with a haystack.

Third, check the pollen count like it’s your horoscope. High levels? Stay inside. Low levels? Risk a walk, but bring tissues. I’ve learned to read those little green bars like a weather psychic, and I am never wrong about when to cancel a picnic.
