Allergies & Pollen for Austin/Bergstrom AFB, Texas
Discussion
The quantity of pollen grains in the air for Tuesday will be falling in the low range. This forecast of lower pollen concentration is based on falling temperatures, rising humidity and heavy rains in the evening which tend to wash pollen out of the air. Relief is in sight.
Allergy Facts
The greatest danger to allergy sufferers in the garden is not pollen from ornamental plants, it is mold that can grow on the surface of the dirt. When soil is disturbed by digging or weeding, mold spores are released into the air. To avoid undue exposure to mold, gardeners sensitive to mold should not dig just after it rains, when mold is at its peak.
