What Is Cedar Fever? Texas Allergy Season Explained
If you live in Texas, you don’t need a doctor to tell you when cedar fever hits.
Your sinuses already know.
Cedar fever isn’t just “seasonal allergies.” It’s a Texas-specific allergy reaction caused by mountain cedar (Ashe juniper) pollen—and when it peaks, it can feel relentless.
What Causes Cedar Fever?
Cedar fever is triggered by juniper pollen, which is released in massive amounts during winter—typically December through February. Wind spreads the pollen across Central and North Texas, coating everything in sight.
Unlike spring allergies, cedar pollen:
-
Is extremely small
-
Stays airborne longer
-
Hits fast and hard
Common Cedar Fever Symptoms
-
Constant sneezing
-
Severe sinus pressure
-
Itchy, watery eyes
-
Scratchy throat
-
Fatigue or brain fog
Many Texans mistake cedar fever for a lingering cold—until it doesn’t go away.
Why Cedar Fever Is Worse in Texas
Texas has:
-
High concentrations of cedar trees
-
Dry, windy winter weather
-
Little rain to wash pollen away
That combination makes cedar fever one of the most intense allergy seasons in the country.
How Texans Find Relief
Relief looks different for everyone, but common options include:
-
Antihistamines
-
Nasal sprays (short-term relief)
-
Sublingual allergy drops, taken under the tongue
Many Texans prefer non-drowsy options they can use daily during peak season.
