Discussion
The pollen levels for Thursday will be falling in the low range. Since the weather has a major influence on pollen dispersal, this decrease is due in part to strong winds and heavy rains in the evening which tend to wash pollen out of the air.
Allergy Facts
In people with normal immune systems, no reaction occurs when pollen lands on the mucous membrane of the eyes, nose, throat or lungs. But in those people with a malfunctioning immune system, the protein in the pollen sets off an allergic response that causes the symptoms of hayfever.
