With winter behind us, summer is finally on the horizon, but it also is a dreaded time for hay fever sufferers.
Seasonal allergies ramp up in the sunny season as trees and plants release more pollen into the air. If you experience the ailment, you may already be experiencing flare-ups, despite the high period being a couple of months away.

It’s Me, Margaret,” “Sisu” and “Big George Foreman.” The adaptation of Judy Blume’s best-selling 1970 novel is faring the best among new releases. Opening in 3,343 locations, the coming-of-age film earned $2.25 million on Friday, a figure that includes roughly $600,000 in Thursday previews. That may be enough for the Lionsgate release to project a third place finish for the weekend, but it’s ultimately an underwhelming result for a crowdpleaser based on a literary mainstay that carries a $30 million production budget.
