Newly published research found that pollen seasons now kick off 20 days earlier and last 10 days longer than they did in 1990.
Each season also has 21 percent more pollen than it used to have.
It's not the first time researchers have drawn a link between climate change and pollen season, but it is a newly released article in a peer reviewed journal.
