Summer allergies (like springtime allergies) are typically triggered by inhalant allergens like pollen. Because pollen counts can be much higher in these months, allergy symptoms tend to be worse. One positive note for summer allergies is that by the end of springtime most trees are already finished pollinating, so much of the allergens stem from grasses or mold spores.
