Fall has officially arrived, but that doesn’t mean allergy season is over. 🍂

Ragweed can linger until the first frost, while mold thrives in damp piles of fallen leaves. If your symptoms tend to follow you into fall, one of these seasonal allergens could be the reason.

You could help shape asthma research. The BREADTH Trial is enrolling participants ages 18–75 who have had asthma for at least 1 year.

There is no cost to participate, and you will be paid for your trial-related time and travel.

To learn more, talk to your doctor or contact the Family Allergy & Asthma Research Institute at (502) 368-0732 or [email protected].

September can be especially tough on asthma.

Ragweed pollen is still in the air, just as respiratory illnesses begin spreading after students return to school. Together, they can make asthma symptoms harder to control.

Pay attention to changes like:
😮‍💨 More frequent coughing or wheezing
🌙 Symptoms that interrupt sleep
🏃 Trouble keeping up with usual activities
💨 Using quick-relief medication more often than usual

If you’re noticing a change, a board-certified allergist can help determine what’s behind your symptoms and recommend the right next steps.

Allergens can show up throughout the school day in places parents may not expect. 🏫

Here’s what could be hiding:
📚 Dust mites in carpets, old books or fabric-covered furniture
💧 Mold in damp areas or older school buildings
🐾 Pet dander carried in on other students’ clothing
🍎 Food allergens in cafeteria meals or shared snacks

Make sure school staff know about your child’s allergies and what to do if symptoms appear.

Your allergies don’t always stay the same when your location changes. 🗺️

Different plants and climates affect which allergens are in the air and when pollen levels rise. That means moving or traveling to another part of the country could introduce triggers you’re not used to.

Our regional guide explains how allergy seasons vary across the U.S., so you can know what to expect wherever you are.
