Based on past pollen counts and expected weather conditions, pollen levels for Thursday will be falling in the moderate range. This relief in pollen levels is caused in part by rising humidity, weak winds and expected precipitation in the evening which tends to wash pollen out of the air.
Allergy Facts
In people with normal immune systems, no reaction occurs when pollen lands on the mucous membrane of the eyes, nose, throat or lungs. But in those people with a malfunctioning immune system, the protein in the pollen sets off an allergic response that causes the symptoms of hayfever.
