Pollen concentrations for Sunday will be falling into the extremely low range. The cause for the falling pollen levels is falling temperatures, rising humidity, and heavy rains in the morning and evening which tend to wash pollen out of the air.
Allergy Facts
Although breast-feeding is known to reduce an infant's risks of developing allergies, a new study reports some other immune benefits. Scientists demonstrated that the forms of vitamin A found in breast milk actually slow the spread of the herpes virus to a crawl. This means the immune system has fewer virus particles to fight -- a clear benefit for babies which do not have fully-developed immune systems until later in life.
