How Mountain Cedar Allergy Affects People in North Texas

Mountain cedar pollen levels in North Texas are among the highest in the country, with a large volume of pollen spreading far and wide. Traditionally called “cedar fever” due to sufferers feeling as if they have flu or fever symptoms, this pollen exposure can affect work, sleep and general well-being. Here are some common symptoms associated with mountain cedar allergy.

Sneezing and nasal congestion
Runny nose and postnasal drip
Itchy, watery or red eyes
Sinus pressure and headaches
Coughing, sore throat or itchy throat

While the condition causes many fever-like symptoms, the discomfort and general feeling of being unwell are caused by an allergic reaction and not a true fever.

Testing and Treatment for Mountain Cedar Allergy

At TexasAllergyMD, we offer comprehensive mountain cedar allergy care for patients of all ages. Initially, we use professional allergy testing to confirm whether symptoms are due to mountain cedar or another trigger. The most common method used, skin prick testing, is a quick and painless procedure that provides accurate results within 15–30 minutes.

After a diagnosis, Dr. Mireku will develop an allergy management plan to prevent allergic reactions from mountain cedar pollen exposure. Medication is one option, with antihistamines or corticosteroids potentially reducing symptoms. Alternatively, immunotherapy (allergy shots) is an effective allergy treatment that builds tolerance to cedar pollen through controlled exposure.

Common Questions About Mountain Cedar Allergies

How do I know if I’m allergic to mountain cedar?

To understand if you are allergic to mountain cedar pollen, you should first pay attention to symptoms like sneezing, a runny or stuffy nose, itchy eyes and a scratchy throat during the winter months. You can then visit an allergist for professional allergy testing to rule out or confirm this sensitivity.

Can adults develop mountain cedar allergy?

Adults can develop mountain cedar allergies even if they’ve never had it before. A common reason for adult-onset cedar allergy is moving to areas in Texas with high cedar concentrations, then becoming sensitized to this pollen over time.

Why are cedar allergies worse in Texas?

Cedar allergies are often worse in Texas due to the high concentration of mountain cedar trees. The combination of a high concentration of pollen and conditions that allow it to be spread over long distances increases the likelihood of exposure.
