Discussion
Pollen concentrations for Saturday will be falling in the low range. This lowering of pollen concentrations is a result of falling temperatures, rising humidity, and expected precipitation in the morning, afternoon and evening which tends to wash pollen out of the air. The lower pollen levels are significant and should help allergy sufferers to cope tomorrow.
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.
