- There are nearly 100 different sources of pollen that can cause allergy
- symptoms. Just knowing what pollens are common to your area, or where you may
- travel, is a difficult task. And pollen seasons differ from one area of the
- country to another. For example, someone from Connecticut, where ragweed
- pollens peak during the months of July through September, may be unprepared
- for an allergy attack in Kansas later on, for ragweed is at its height there
- during October.
- But help is available. A handy slide-rule guide, the U.S. Pollen
- Predictor, pinpoints the 75 most common allergy-provoking trees, grasses and
- weeds in the five regions of the United States: Northeast, Middle Atlantic,
- South/Southwestern, and Mountain Pacific States, and offers a month-by-month
- listing of their peak pollen periods.
- The U.S. Pollen Predictor is free through the Allergy Information Center
- and Hotline. The Hotline, 1-800-727-5400, sponsored as a public service by
- Fisons Pharmaceuticals, provides information on both asthma and allergy. Ask
- for the Pollen Predictor by name when asked to record your request for
- information, wait for the pause and clearly state your name and address after
- the next question.
