September is the only time of year I suffer with allergies (um, thank you, Mr. Ragweed), and this week we saw some of the highest ragweed numbers.
If you live in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, use these pollen count archives to track the pollen count and help determine what types of allergens to which you’re most susceptible.
I used to think I unlucky enough to get “a summer cold” every September, until I discovered the archives and figured out I just have a major ragweed allergy. Now, whenever I see the ragweed counts start to go up, I try to stay indoors, drive with my windows rolled up, and change my clothes whenever I get home. Many people also avoid eating honeydew, cantaloupe, watermelon, banana, and chamomile because a cross-reaction to ragweed pollen may cause oral allergy syndrome, which is itching or swelling of the lips, tongue, throat or roof of the mouth.
