Spring Cold Surge Mistaken for Allergies, Experts Say

A nationwide uptick in cold-causing rhinoviruses this spring is often mistaken for allergies. Data from the CDC and the Your Local Epidemiologist indicate a mid-May peak for colds, with numbers expected to decline into summer. Health experts note fevers point to a cold rather than allergies, advise vigilant hand-washing and staying home when sick to curb spread, and remind that allergies and colds can occur together, especially for vulnerable individuals.
