The air quality in Rochester is taking another turn for the worse from the Canadian wildfires!
This can be a brutal combination for asthma and allergy sufferers, with a combination of Rochester being the 5th worst area for pollen in the United States, and the second worst for asthma, now coupled with a decline in air quality.
Those with asthma should ensure that they are compliant with their medications, and spend as little time outdoors as possible!
The effects are cumulative, so testing and considering desensitization shots to turn off the allergic inflammation, can make Rochesterians less sitting ducks when this happens in the future.
Please be safe!
