If you’ve been sneezing, dealing with a runny nose and itchy eyes, then unfortunately, you know allergy season is upon us.
While it may have been a slow start, allergies are ramping up in Canada, and experts say people in some areas are in for a rough time.
Narcity spoke to experts in both Ontario and B.C. to see what people in those provinces can expect, and one province is on track to have the worst season it’s seen in years.
Daniel Coates, the director of Aerobiology Research Laboratories in Ottawa, says Ontario is the unlucky province with almost double the tree pollen compared to previous years.
“Toronto started seeing pollen right away in mid-March, and it’s on track actually to be one of the worst seasons in a long time in Toronto, but not really for the rest of the country,” he explained.

Here’s what we know about this year’s allergy season and what you can do to help yourself as much as possible.
