- Pets: Your favorite furry friend is a common cause of worsening allergens this time of year. Due to the colder weather, dogs and cats are inside more often shedding allergens. When they do go outside, they can bring in dirt or other irritants that will worsen your symptoms.
- Mold: While West Texas has lower humidity than many other parts of the country, mold is still prevalent. Snowstorms can leave pockets of snow on roofs which can then seep down into roofing or walls.
- Cockroaches: No one likes the site of these in their house. If you don’t have some form of pest control, they will find a way into your house, usually creeping around when most are asleep.
