Environmental allergies are triggered by allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and mold. These allergens can cause symptoms like a runny nose, sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes, and even wheezing. Whether it’s springtime pollen or indoor allergens that bother you year-round, environmental allergies can significantly impact your quality of life. The good news is that effective treatments are available that can not only manage but potentially cure these allergies. At South Florida Food Allergy Center, we offer state-of-the-art therapies to desensitize you to your allergens and help you find lasting relief.
What Causes Environmental Allergies?
Many environmental allergens are seasonal, such as tree pollen in the spring, grass pollen in the summer, and ragweed in the fall. However, indoor allergens like dust mites, pet dander, and mold can cause symptoms all year long. In Florida, the warm and humid climate creates an ideal environment for allergens like dust mites and mold to thrive, leading to persistent allergy symptoms for many residents.
Common Environmental Allergens Include:
- Tree Pollen (spring)
- Grass Pollen (late spring and summer)
- Ragweed (fall)
- Dust Mites (year-round, thrive in humidity)
- Pet Dander (year-round)
- Mold (year-round, especially in humid areas)
Environmental Allergy Symptoms: What to Watch For
Environmental allergies can cause a wide range of symptoms, including:
- Runny or stuffy nose
- Sneezing
- Itchy or watery eyes
- Congestion
- Wheezing or shortness of breath
These symptoms can range from mild to severe and often mimic the symptoms of a cold. If you experience these symptoms regularly, it may be time to get tested for environmental allergies.
Latest Treatments for Environmental Allergies: How Immunotherapy Can Help
Immunotherapy has revolutionized the way we treat environmental allergies. This treatment involves gradually exposing your body to small doses of the allergen, allowing it to build up a tolerance over time. The goal is to desensitize your immune system so that you no longer experience symptoms when exposed to the allergen.
At South Florida Food Allergy Center, we offer both Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT), a needle-free option, and Traditional Allergy Shots to help you achieve long-term relief from environmental allergies.

Sublingual Immunotherapy: A Needle-Free Solution
If the thought of allergy shots makes you uncomfortable, Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT) may be the perfect solution. With SLIT, small doses of the allergen are placed under your tongue, allowing your body to gradually build tolerance to it without the need for injections. This treatment can help alleviate both seasonal and year-round allergy symptoms, offering relief without the hassle of regular shots.
