If you live in the mountains or in an area with lush trees and flowers, allergy season is an expected part of your year. But if you're a city dweller who doesn't venture to the great outdoors often, seasonal allergies might not be top of mind. Elliot says that pollen can travel up to 50 miles, so you're likely at risk for the sniffles no matter where you live. This is why it's important to understand — and be mindful of — your triggers so you can prepare for them. If you don't believe they'll happen, and they do, it's tougher to rid of them. "See an allergist to find out what you are allergic to and make sure you are on your medicines early — don't wait for symptoms! It's harder to treat allergies once they have already flared and some of the most effective allergy medicine can take up to seven days to reach their full effect," she notes.
