DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) — It may be winter in North Texas, but we’re seeing pollen counts that, in some areas, resemble springtime. Dallas had the highest pollen count in the country on Monday, which is not a good sign of things to come.

The winter in North Texas has been mild, yet there’s been just enough rain to turn trees and grass into pollen producing machines. Couple that with high winds in the area, and you can see why many allergy sufferers have been scrambling for antihistamines.

KRLD’s Melanie Brown spoke with Dr. Stephen Apaliski with Allergy and Asthma Centers in Arlington about the current pollen counts and what we can expect heading into spring.
