SAN ANTONIO (WOAI/KABB) — Already have a runny nose from this season? It could be a cold or mountain cedar, but it could also be because of your Christmas tree.

Doctors say you may have “Christmas Tree Syndrome” allergies caused by your Christmas tree and decorations.

Decorations taken out of the attic could cause respiratory problems.

Physicians recommend consumers with Christmas tree allergies to consider getting artificial Christmas trees and wipe down their decorations to minimize reaction problems.
