Technical Discussion:
The pollen levels for Friday will be falling into the very low range. The cause for the falling pollen levels is heavy rains in the afternoon and evening which tend to wash pollen out of the air.
Pollen and Allergy Fact:
Visiting a local arboretum will give you an opportunity to learn how to identify, and when necessary avoid, plants in your area. This is especially helpful for patients with plant and pollen allergies.
Allergy Tip:
People who have had an allergic reaction to an insect sting have a 60 percent chance of a similar or worse reaction if stung again.
