In the past week many people have complained to me about how much pollen there is in the air. It should go down over the weekend as rain, especially on Sunday, should temporarily reduce pollen loads by washing it to the ground. We are in the transition from tree pollen, which is ending, to more flower and grass pollen, but we are not out of the pollen season yet. Here are a couple of stories I saw this morning about the high pollen levels we are seeing.
