Rain, humidity spawn strong ragweed season
A story about the fall allergy season includes comments by Willane Krell, a pulmonologist and assistant professor of internal medicine in the WSU School of Medicine. "This year, I'm seeing more people who didn't have problems in previous years," she says. "They're complaining that everything is stuffed up, and they're showing up with watery eyes and drippy noses," she said. She attributes the increase in complaints to a cooler summer with abundant rain, which creates more mold. "And mold is an allergen for a lot of people."
