Allergies & Pollen Count for Mammoth Spring, Arkansas
Discussion
The pollen levels for Sunday will be higher than they were today in the moderate range. Since the weather has a major influence on pollen dispersal, this increase is due in part to rising temperatures, strong winds and lower relative humidity.
Allergy Facts
Many allergy sufferers blame the relatively innocent showy goldenrod for their symptoms. The culprit is usually ragweed. Golden rods are insect pollinated, so their pollen does not become airborne. It takes more direct contact with the goldenrod plants than with ragweed to elicit allergic symptoms.
