Many people suffer from worse allergies in Florida compared to other areas that they have lived in. This is common because of the long seasons in Florida, resulting in very minimal time when there is something not in bloom.
In this video, Claire Teitsch, LPN, Allergy Supervisor at The Silverstein Institute explains how to treat, the type of treatment, and the length of treatment required to desensitize and alleviate your Florida allergies.
Although relief of your symptoms is typically felt sometime around three to six months, the entire treatment process usually takes between three to five years unless new triggers begin to appear.

Treatment options for your allergies are either weekly shots or daily sublingual therapy. The goal of treatment is to retrain the immunse system so as to not react to the trigger.
Typically, the deciding factor for treatment options is cost. Sublingual therapy is not covered by insurance. Although the shots usually involve a copay or deductible they are usually covered somewhat by insurance.
