Allergy Facts

The great American naturalist Bessey noted in the 1880s that pollen grains often travel hundreds of miles. During a field investigation he discovered pine pollen several hundred miles from the nearest pine forest. With some surprise he concluded that this pollen must have floated through the air to its destination.
