Allergies have made the Health page at CNN.com. This Allergy Season Nothing to Sneeze At reports that this year's spring allergies have hit earlier because the trees are blossoming and pollinating earlier than usual. This happens when warm temperatures occur sooner than expected.

CNN further reports that the biggest allergy capital of the country, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, is Knoxville, TN, which has already had pollen counts about 6,000 particles per cubic meter this year. April is a particularly hard month for allergy sufferers because it’s a month during which both tree pollen and grass pollen are at their peak.

While many people are so affected by allergies that they are desperate enough to move somewhere where their allergies might be better, in actuality there are few places in the country to hide from allergies. In fact, many times people develop allergies to local pollens a couple of years after they re-locate.

More people than ever are suffering from allergies. Some blame global warming for the rise, pointing out that warmer seasons cause plants to release pollen earlier and make the spring allergy season longer than ever. Increasing pollution may also be contributing.

As an early season brings the pollen onslaught sooner than expected, what are you doing to find relief from your allergies?
