This week, doctors are seeing everything from rashes to respiratory issues.
The doctors from Broadway Urgent care say that patients are dealing with upper respiratory illnesses and sinus infections.
With the warmer weather and all the plants in full bloom, allergy symptoms are still affecting patients.
Doctors say they have seen a few hikers pick up rashes from poison ivy.
Dr. Tara Flynn, from Mizzou Quick Care and Urgent Care, says she is seeing a lot of sun burns and photo sensitivity rashes from people going outside.
On top of that, people are getting poison ivy and poison oak rashes. Flynn says ticks are out and she has had to do tick removal and check for tick-borne illnesses.
On a more sensitive subject, Flynn has seen a large spike in chlamydia this week.
