Much of the country has escaped a brutal winter, but those who experience seasonal allergies may start suffering early this year.

While most spring allergies don't usually start until late March, doctors say that those who suffer from tree pollen allergies are already reporting symptoms.

Recent studies have also shown that warmer temperatures could prolong ragweed season, one of the most common forms of spring allergies, by 15 days to a month.

Experts say if you're being treated by an allergist, now may be a good time to make an appointment to talk over a medication plan.
