Throughout the year, there are a variety of pollens in the air that can have a way of making people feel very sick. Ragweed is one of those pollens and is highly aggravating.

Ragweed usually kicks in high gear anywhere between the summer to fall season and wreaks havoc on the ones who have allergies and hay fever. There are some people who have never had any form of allergies before and will all of a sudden react to the ragweed in the air.

When someone has allergies or hay fever o ragweed and it is beginning to surface its nasty self, that person may end up being very sick with an upper respiratory infection.

The symptoms can be mild or severe, as it depends on each individual person. The allergy sufferer may get itchy skin or hives that pop up, ears that stop up, running and/or sneezing nose with eyes that wont seem to quit watering, trouble with breathing, asthma and more.

There is medication that should be taken to help with these symptoms, but you should see a doctor for help.
