Ragweed Hits North Texas Hard



Ragweed is worse this year than its been in some time thanks to the rain and mild weather we had over the summer.  
Watery eyes and runny noses testify to the start of our Fall allergy season.  Ragweed tops the list of pollen problems.
Fort Worth allergist Dr. John Fling says it's not your imagination, the allergies problem is getting worse.  More and more people are suffering from allergies in this country according to Dr. Fling.
He blames a rainy Spring, and increased use of immunizations and antibiotics that wipes out many illnesses, but redirects the body to respond to pollen.
