That Green Film

You've probably seen it by now. That film on your car making it appear greenish. Or one which is creeping on your front porch. It's pollen season and pollen is very present in the air. I suffer from seasonal allergies and I know if you do too, the sneezing and watery eyes can be quite common during medium to high pollen level days.

Unfortunately for readers within the DC metro area, the pollen outlook looks to be on the rise. The temperatures reaching into lower 80s for the start of this week, and the low dewpoint, has an influence on the dispersal of pollen. What this means is that the allergy level for the start of next week is high and allergy suffers can be looking at an increase in allergy symptoms. These symptoms may als0 become more severe as the warmer temperatures and low dewpoint progress.

To learn more about the pollen level in your area check out Pollen.com. The site has great information such as the various types of allergies and a history of allergy levels in your area.

Just a little comic relief from all the sneezing:
