Climate change may be pushing fungal allergy season earlier

There’s no rest for allergy sufferers.

Fungal allergy season gets going an average of 22 days earlier than it did 20 years ago, researchers report in the July GeoHealth. Rising temperatures and altered precipitation are linked to the new pattern, suggesting that climate change is making fungal allergy season worse. 

“Two to three weeks is not trivial,” says Kai Zhu, an ecologist at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. People now need to prepare for fungal allergy season, which is typically in spring but can vary by location, much earlier than they used to.
