Pollen Count Is Low Today!

For the first time in over a month, the pollen count is low in Northern Virginia.  The rain has helped wash the pollen out of the air.  It won't last long though.  Wednesday, we will see one of the highest pollen levels since last year!

The main offender is tree pollen, but grass and weed pollen is starting to have some activity.

Tree Pollen Is High

Tree pollen is still high and will be until all the spring flowers fall off the trees.  It has been wreaking havoc on allergy and non-allergy sufferers alike.  I have been hearing about a lot of people experiencing sinus headaches and sinus infections in Northern Virginia in the past week.

Tree Pollen Is High Today In Northern Virginia!

Tree pollen counts are at an 11 on a scale from 0 to 12 in Northern Virginia, which is very high!  Most pollen today is from trees.  Grass pollen is starting to come in to play now.

I have noticed a lot of people with ear and sinus infections and coughs that will not go away.  My cough came back last week and has not gone away.  It is at its worst at night when I lie down.  I have also noticed that I have more congestion in my lungs and I need to use my inhalers more often.

Make sure you take your allergy medicine, take off your shoes before you enter the house and wash your hands once you get in the house to remove pollen and stop it from entering the house.

Pollen count is medium/high for the next couple days

For the next couple days, the pollen count will be medium-high.  The culprit is tree pollen.  All other pollens are absent or low.

For the next few weeks, if you have allergy symptoms, you are most likely allergic to tree pollen.

Use a allergy kit like the Dyson Allergy Cleaning kit to remove pollen and other allergens from your house.  The parts attach to your Dyson vacuum cleaner to help suck up the allergens.  My allergist recommended to Dyson Vacuum cleaner for my house since I have severe allergies.
