More than 1 in 4 adults in the U.S. had seasonal allergies in 2021 , CDC says.

Scientists attribute to a variety of causes, including the climate crisis.

Ragweed is the most common culprit for fall allergies.

Symptoms include runny or stuffy nose, sniffling, sneezing, coughing, itching and burning in the nose, mouth and eyes.

Nearly 6% of adults and children have food allergies, according to the CDC .

People with severe symptoms may benefit from immunotherapy, also called allergy shots.

Some people respond well to over-the-counter options, while others may need a prescription medication.

Just because a medicine is available over the counter doesn't necessarily mean there are fewer side effects.
