Pollen Forecast: April 9, 2008

Technical Discussion:
The amount of pollen in the air for Thursday will be higher than they were today and extend even further into the extremely high range. This increase is due to rising temperatures, strong winds and lower relative humidity.

Pollen and Allergy Fact:
In a large study of 20,000 adults in the United Kingdom, 20% thought they had a food allergy or intolerance. In a small subset of these patients who were tested with eight selected foods in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, only 1.8% were actually allergic to the foods they predicted they would be.

Allergy Tip:
Set the car air conditioner to the recirculate setting to prevent new allergens from entering.
