Kochia & Lamb’s Quarter Allergies in Scottsdale
Kochia, also known as lamb’s quarter or Belvedere summer cypress, is a feathery plant that can trigger allergy symptoms from August to October, including runny nose, itchy eyes, sneezing, and congestion. Its pollen is a common late-summer allergen in Scottsdale.
Enticare, an ENT clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona, provides testing and treatment to help manage kochia allergies and improve your quality of life.
Symptoms
- Runny or stuffy nose
- Itchy, watery eyes
- Sneezing and coughing
- Scratchy throat
- Headaches or difficulty breathing in severe cases
Kochia allergies occur when your immune system overreacts to pollen.
Prevention & Management
- Limit outdoor activities during peak pollen times
- Stay indoors mornings and evenings
- Use HEPA air purifiers
- Avoid routes with heavy kochia growth
- Control kochia growth in gardens and fields
People with family history of allergies, hay fever, or asthma are more susceptible.
