Allergy Facts
Although pollen grains can often travel extreme distances from the plants that shed them, grass pollen tends to stay near its source. One study demonstrated that 99% of grass pollen remains within a mile of the plants that shed it. This suggests that the cause of grass pollen allergies is probably right outside your door -- perhaps the front lawn or some roadside grasses.
