Wichita, KS Elm Pollen

Managing elm season in Wichita
If elm is your trigger, start a daily antihistamine like cetirizine (Zyrtec) or loratadine (Claritin) a week or two before the February to 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 Kansas can test whether elm is really what you react to and talk through longer-term options like allergy shots.
