Pollen concentrations for Saturday will be falling but will remain in the high range. This change results in part from falling temperatures, lack of strong winds and expected precipitation in the morning and afternoon which tends to wash pollen out of the air.
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.
