Stanley Schwartz, director of the Division of Allergy, Immunology and Rheumatology Medicine, is quoted in an article in USA Today about the factors behind this spring's longer and more difficult allergy season. "Mold will grow under the fallen leaves from last season," he said. "So if it's very wet, it isn't just the blooming plants but it's also the mold, and many people are allergic to multiple airborne allergens."
