As spring blooms across West Texas, so do the allergies. Midland residents are feeling it. In a recent interview with YourBasin.com, Dr. Miguel Wolbert of AllerVie Health in Midland offered expert advice to help locals navigate the season. According to Dr. Wolbert, the high winds typical in the area make pollen exposure worse, often triggering symptoms like sneezing, congestion, and itchy eyes. He emphasizes that while over-the-counter treatments can help, understanding the specific allergens you’re sensitive to and minimizing outdoor activities during peak pollen times can make a big difference.

Dr. Wolbert also highlighted the importance of seeking professional help if symptoms persist despite medications. AllerVie Health offers testing to pinpoint specific allergies and tailor treatments accordingly, including immunotherapy for long-term relief. As Dr. Wolbert puts it, knowing what you’re allergic to and taking early action is key to surviving and thriving during Midland’s challenging spring allergy season.
