Pollen Forecast for Box Elder, South Dakota

Discussion
The quantity of pollen grains in the air for Saturday will be rising and extend further into the very high range. This higher level is caused in part by rising temperatures, strong winds and lower relative humidity. This heavy increase in pollen concentration could very well cause problems for those who are allergic to airborne pollens.
Allergy Facts
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.
