Allergy season is in full swing and more than 80 million Americans suffer with seasonal allergies.

How does this year compare to years in the past? Are people going to be sniffling more, or is this year going to finally be a downturn in pollen?

We'll get the answers from a local allergist.

Conservation can take on many forms. It can involve protecting animals, plants, forests or any of Earth’s natural resources.

We are going to meet a woman who has dedicated herself to protecting and preserving wildlife areas, including The Dawes Arboretum in Newark.

For many young people, a little guidance and mentorship can be life changing.

When someone dedicates themselves to being that change, their community grows and prospers.

We'll talking with an individual who has worked for decades to teach and help young people to reach their full potential through various initiatives and programs.

It's all coming up on this week's edition of Fascinating Ohio.

Guests:

• Dr. Summit Shah, allergist/founder, Premier Allergy & Asthma
• Holly Latteman, director of science and research, Dawes Arboretum
• David Bush, founder, Madd Poets Society/commissioner of youth civic engagement, City of Toledo
