A young girl traveling from Dublin to New Jersey suffered an allergic reaction to nuts while she was on the plane.

Ragweed season usually begins in New Jersey around Aug. 15, but this year, pollen release has begun nearly a week early in some spots.

They could swallow pills or squirt nasal sprays every day for brief reprieves from the sneezing and itchy eyes. Or they could get allergy shots for years to gradually reduce their immune system's over-reaction.

This spring's allergy season in New Jersey has been classified as "normal" because elevated levels of pollen began to show up as soon as the spring season officially began in March, but many Garden State residents report having the worst allergic symptoms they can recall.
