Seasonal allergies and allergy-driven asthma have surged sharply in 2025, creating one of the most difficult years for Florida families in more than a decade. Warmer temperatures, prolonged blooming seasons, and extreme pollen cycles have caused a significant rise in urgent care visits throughout Marion County.
At Magnolia Family Urgent Care, we are seeing increased cases of sinus pressure, persistent cough, wheezing, severe congestion, and allergy-triggered asthma flare-ups that require immediate treatment.
This guide explains the 2025 allergy landscape, which symptoms are normal, which require urgent care, and when emergency care is necessary. Links to our services and online check-in are included for your convenience.

Tree and grass pollen seasons lasting nearly a month longer than previous years
