Unfortunately, this year has been especially difficult for pollen and mold sufferers.

I sat down with Dr. Aarti Pandya, the medical director of the food allergy center with Children's Mercy Kansas City, and she told me that we saw tree pollination happen as early as February, which makes sense.

We recorded our third warmest February ever in Kansas City with an average temperature of 10.5° above normal.
