San Antonio, TX Oak Pollen

Oak pollen in San Antonio usually peaks around March, reaching Very High at its worst. San Antonio sits at the southern edge of the Hill Country, so its allergy year is bookended by two heavy hitters: mountain cedar in winter and ragweed in fall, with oak and grass filling the spring.

Live oak and red oak take over in March and April, coating patios and cars in fine yellow pollen across the city.

Managing oak season in San Antonio

If oak is your trigger, start a daily antihistamine like cetirizine (Zyrtec) or loratadine (Claritin) a week or two before the March peak, rather than waiting for symptoms. Keep windows closed on high-count mornings, shower and change clothes after time outside, and run the AC on recirculate in the car.

When symptoms don't ease with over-the-counter medicine, an allergist in Texas can test whether oak is really what you react to and talk through longer-term options like allergy shots.
