Concentration of pollen grains in the air for Saturday will be increasing in the high range. This higher level is caused in part by higher temperatures and the lower dewpoint. Tomorrow's increase could spell trouble for allergy sufferers.

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.
