AMARILLO, TEXAS -- Experts from West Texas A&M and Allergy ARTS have research that indicates this upcoming ragweed season may be the worst ever.

The research dates back several years and shows a major increase in the pollen count for ragweed.

More humidity, higher temperatures,mild winters and an increase in global carbon dioxide are factors for the out of control ragweed.

The typical ragweed season is late August to November but the past few years researchers say the weed is found year round.
