Late Spring/Early Summer Allergies

As the tree pollen season fades away in May, grass pollen begins. Grass pollen allergy, like sage, is a major source of allergy, lasting for six or more weeks. The grass pollen begins to show up in mid-May through the Fourth of July holiday. Fairly low counts of 30 or above on the 24-hour sampler can produce moderate to severe allergy symptoms as allergy patients are quite sensitive to grass pollens. Counts of grass pollen can reach levels of over 100 and are highest the first two weeks of June. Grass pollen may persist into July due to a late spring season in the mountains, which it did this past year because of the wet spring.
