Allergies

This is a very big deal, as many people are developing serious allergies following certain tick bites.

A New Jersey man became the first confirmed fatality from a tick-borne meat allergy (alpha-gal syndrome).

"At this point, it's mostly the oak trees and the birch trees that are producing all that green powder that we're seeing," said Dr. Joel Mendelson, director of allergy and immunology at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center.

"It will persist for the next two to three weeks," said Leonard Bielory, professor of medicine, allergy, immunology, and ophthalmology at Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine.

It's almost allergy season in South Jersey and experts are predicting this one will be rough.
