RAGWEED SEASON…IT’S COMING! J
ust when you thought hay fever season was almost over…get ready for ragweed sea- son. Allergy sufferers are finally feeling a bit of relief from this year’s allergy season,
where we saw record high tree and grass pollen counts. But get ready; things are about to get worse again because ragweed season is here. Ragweed pollen season has started and will prove to be another tough few months for any late summer / fall allergy suffer- ers. The unofficial kickoff of ragweed season starts August 15th
and continues through
October. For the 36 million unlucky Americans who suffer from ragweed allergies, this will mean more frequent sneezing and stuffy or runny nose along with itchy and water- ing eyes commonly known as allergic rhinitis. If you suffer from a ragweed allergy, be prepared for a particularly nasty ragweed
season. The hot, dry summer will most likely cause very high ragweed pollen counts. Even though your windows might be closed to keep the pollen outside, be aware that ragweed pollen can also get inside your house by sticking to your clothing, shoes, bags, and pets. Peak pollen times are usually between 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Pollen released from ragweed is the airborne pollen allergen most responsible for
late summer and early fall allergy symptoms. Remarkably, an average ragweed plant can produce over one million-pollen grains every day and up to one billion pollen grains in the lifetime of the plant. This is a major issue because the pollen grains are extremely lightweight and can get carried up to 400 miles away from their original source. Another problem with ragweed is that it is virtually everywhere. It grows in fields, along roadsides, in vacant city lots, yards, etc. Whether you are in the city or in the country, you will get exposed to ragweed as it is found in abundance in every region of the US. “Ragweed is a stubborn plant that can grow anywhere. Ragweed pollen is an
important cause of fall allergy symptoms,” said Richard Nicklas, MD, and Fellow of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI). While not everyone exposed to ragweed will develop an allergy to the pollen, contact with the ragweed pollen can stimulate a reaction in some people that can worsen other symptoms like sinusitis with an increase in congestion or asthma with an increase in wheezing, short- ness of breath or a cough. Hay fever or allergic rhinitis is a big problem in the fall with Ragweed being the main culprit. If you suffer from late summer and fall allergy symp- toms, get ready.
