Today we are touching, just a bit on pollen, because it is that time of year. Pollen is a powdery substance created by certain seed plants as part of their reproduction process. It can come from trees in the spring, grasses in the summer, and weeds in the fall, affecting millions of Americans by triggering sneezing, congestion, watery eyes, and other cold-like symptoms, also known as seasonal allergies, allergic rhinitis or hay fever.
According to the National Institute of Environmental Health Science, if you suffer from seasonal allergies, it is best to save outside activities for late afternoon when pollen levels are lower and keep your windows closed to help reduce your exposure. This powdery substance can be transported indoors on people and pets, so please be careful. Quick note: ragweed pollen season usually runs from August to November.
Here are a few of the most common species of grass that are associated with allergies:
Orchard grass.
Kentucky bluegrass.
Johnson grass
Bermuda grass.
Trees that are less likely to cause allergic reactions includes:
Crape myrtle
Pear
Dogwood
Fig
Trees to avoid if you are allergic to tree pollen:
Elm
Pecan
Hickory
Walnut
