Discussion
Concentration of pollen grains in the air for Monday will be increasing over today's levels in the moderate range. Since the weather has a major influence on pollen dispersal, this increase is due in part to higher temperatures and the lower dewpoint. These overall conditions could make it a bit more difficult for those who are allergic to airborne pollens.
Allergy Facts
A U.S. study surveyed the parents of 520 newborn babies, asking them whether their child had food allergies. Just under 30% said they believed their children to have such allergies. Contrary to their belief, only 6% of these children reacted to the suspected foods during a double-blind, placebo-controlled oral food challenge.
