Detroiters with allergies are feeling the impact of climate change, as the city’s pollen season has grown by 31 days since 1970, exacerbating allergy symptoms. Remedies favored by allergists include closing windows; showering and changing clothes after outdoor activities; and using nasal sprays and eye drops.
