How do you know the difference between mountain cedar allergy symptoms and those of the common cold?

My sister lives in San Antonio, and the allergy count is really high. She has stuffy nose, red eyes, sore throat, and no fever. Is it safe to assume that she just has allergies, or is it a cold?

Yep, that’s almost assuredly "Cedar Fever". The easiest way to tell is if a lot of other people are complaining of similiar symptoms (which right now they certainly are, myself included.) Of course, there’s always a chance that it’s a cold, but if her eyes are red because they’re itchy, then that’s most likely alergies.
