This chart shows when and where trees, grasses, and weeds do their thing. If you know when to expect the onslaught, you'll be prepared. Generally, trees peak first, then grasses, then weed season starts in late summer to early fall. Keep a diary . An allergy sufferer might be sensitive to one particular kind of tree pollen, to every kind of weed pollen, to all kinds of pollen, or to pollen, mold, mites, dust, perfume, cats, dogs, fish, and midgets.
Every individual is unique, and allergic sensitivities can change.
Keep track of when, where, and how you are suffering, in order to help you and your allergist identify the specific characteristics of your condition. The more information you have, the easier it will be to avoid and to treat reactions. Watch pollen forecasts . In this wonderful civilization of ours, there are people who count the amount of pollen in the air in cities across the United States and attempt to predict what the count will be over the next few days. These are incredibly interesting people who are fun to talk to at parties.
