People can become allergic to things in the environment around their home, work, or school.

Symptoms can include a persistent clear runny nose or watery eyes that appears with changes in the seasons or when the Santa Ana winds appear.

When the Santa Ana winds blow, the dust and pollens from the mountains follow the winds to your community.

When brush fire season appears, there is a correlation to asthma patients having respiratory issues due to the ash and air quality.

If you have known allergies or asthma, you can prevent getting ill by using simple precautions such as saline irrigation of your sinuses.  You should also have your prescription medications current.
