Summer Grasses and Allergies
Summer is a time we don’t ordinarily associate with congestion. Why would we? It’s time to enjoy being outside. Fun in the sun, right? But not for everyone. When allergies bog you down in the warmest months of the year, it’s a real summer bummer, the kind of thing the Beach Boys never sang about.

Summer Grass Can Be a Pain In the… Nose
Summer grasses. They’re public enemy number one when it comes to allergies this time of year. Here are some of the primary culprits causing allergy symptoms:
Johnson Grass
Often found in fields and along roadsides, Johnson grass is a prolific pollen producer. It’s originally from Mediterranean regions, but was introduced into the Southern U.S. in the 1800s by farmer William Johnson.

Bermuda Grass
When you’re outside in your Bermuda shorts, on a lawn, in a park, or on the golf course, you might be standing on Bermuda grass. Bermuda grass produces loads of pollen during summer. Its pollen is lightweight and can travel long distances, making it a common allergen.
Timothy Grass
Named for Timothy Hanson, who first began selling it in the 1700’s, Timothy grass is most commonly used as hay for livestock, or even your pet bunnies. Timothy grass releases pollen that can cause severe allergic reactions in late spring and summer.

Kentucky Bluegrass
Another popular lawn grass, Kentucky bluegrass can produce a significant amount of pollen. If you’re allergic to it, your nose can run like the horses at Churchill Downs.
Summer Allergy Symptoms
Grass pollen allergies, also known as hay fever or allergic rhinitis, can cause an unfortunate range of uncomfortable symptoms including: fatigue, coughing, sneezing, itchy eyes, nose, and throat, and of course, nasal congestion. Doesn’t sound like a vacation at all.
