Allergy Facts

Annual plants such as ragweed, sage, nettle, and some grasses, may have even better growth opportunities the year following a major fire if trees have been removed and/or soil has been disturbed. Whereas they may be wiped out for the current pollen season, they may come back in even greater numbers the following seasons. Trees lost during a fire take much longer to recover.
