It's a tough time of year for allergies in Central Texas, and they're especially hard to avoid if you're heading to Zilker Park this weekend.
Driving the news: ACL attendees battled dust and allergies during weekend one, and that's likely to continue for weekend two of the music festival as dry conditions and high temperatures persist.
Central Texas saw high pollen counts of ragweed, mold, grass and elm through September, and that's continued into October.
AustinPollen.com, which averages the area's pollen counts, recorded elevated levels of weeds and ragweed Wednesday.
⭐️ ACL tips: Pop your daily allergy pill before you head to the park, and use a nasal spray like Flonase.
Festivalgoers can benefit from a mask or bandana over their mouth and nose to guard against the dust and ragweed. Plus, be sure to shower as soon as you get home.
