DID YOU KNOW?
The Nose Knows... (or, it's the size that counts)
The human nose cannot typically filter pollen grains and pollen that are less
than 30 microns in diameter -- thus smaller pollens can easily enter the
respiratory system through the nose. A ragweed pollen is typically 17-23 microns
in diameter; a pollen from a sunflower is typically 150 microns in diameter.

Pollen
- Very High
- Almost all individuals with any sensitivity
at all to these pollens and molds will experience symptoms. Extremely
sensitive people could have severe symptoms.
- High
- Most individuals with any sensitivity to
these pollens and molds will experience symptoms.
- Moderate
- Many individuals sensitive to these pollens
and molds will experience symptoms.
- Low*
- Only individuals extremely sensitive to
these pollens and molds will experience symptoms.
- None*
- Allergy sufferers with
sensitivity to these pollens and molds will probably not experience any
symptoms.
- * Early seasonal
exposure to high amounts of air-borne allergens in individuals sensitive to
allergy pollens will "prime" an individual to react to even the
smallest amounts of pollens later in the season. Lower recorded daily pollen
counts following higher seasonal pollination patterns may not provide any
relief to allergy sufferers who have been repeatedly exposed to pollens
during the season
