The Best Apps for Fall Allergies
By Tracey Dowdy
Summer is almost over and we’ll soon be enjoying Fall, my favorite season of the year. For me, Fall means trips to the orchard, pumpkin patches, sweater weather, and better hair days since we get to say good bye to humidity. Unfortunately, for me it also means seasonal allergies. Some days aren’t so bad, but at other times my eyes are bloodshot and irritated and my throat feels as though I’ve been snacking on fiberglass.
The good news is that having a heads up on what to expect goes a long way in trying to manage those symptoms. And, as always, our smartphones can help. Here are a few apps that can make stepping outside your front door a lot less miserable.
