(KSL News) -- People with allergies are sniffing and sneezing earlier this year. Experts say higher temperatures are forcing flowers and trees to blossom.

The biggest offender is pollen from cedar trees.

Dr. Alan Bitner, Intermountain Allergy and Asthma: "These trees sit dormant for a while until we have a nice day of weather and wind, and then they just blossom and then you see these very high levels of cedar."

That doctor also says if someone has serious allergies, find a doctor.
