View all City Cast Austin episodes

As the climate has changed, Austin’s allergy seasons have morphed into more of a year-round suffer fest, do-si-do-ing smoothly from cedar or juniper, to grass, then ragweed, and oak. And right now, we’re in the thick of cedar season, which is absolutely loving this weather. Host Nikki DaVaughn, a victim of allergies herself, is joined today by Dr. Neha Reshamwala, doctor and founder of Frontier Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, to talk about why cedar is thriving this year, if it’s actually getting worse from year to year, and how to treat cedar fever.
