This time of year, allergies are high and grass pollen is a big offender. If you experience any of the following, you might be suffering from grass pollen allergies. Symptoms can include eye irritation, congestion, post-nasal drip, and rashes. To avoid these symptoms, many people limit their time outdoors.
According to Livestrong.com, grass pollen is one of the top three allergens that can impact both humans and pets. And as noted on about.com, grass pollen is the most prominent pollen in the air during summer months. Hundreds of grass types can trigger allergies. The most common grass in Arizona is Bermuda because it can withstand the harsh summer temperatures. Other common grasses that can trigger allergies include:
- Johnson grass
- Kentucky bluegrass
- Orchard grass
- Redtop grass
- Rye grass
- Sweet vernal grass
- Timothy grass
During summer months, we often come in contact with grass more than any other time of the year. From soccer games to swimming and picnics in the park, grass surrounds us. Having us take care of your weekly lawn service will keep your grass trimmed, which may reduce the amount of pollen produced.
But beware, grass pollen doesn’t stay on the ground. It’s in the air. Arizona sees its share of dry, windy days. This is a great way for pollen to travel. If you’re allergic to grass pollen, limit your exposure to it. Keep windows closed and wear a mask if you do yardwork.
The official name for the sneezing, congestion and runny nose caused by allergies is Allergic Rhinitis. Whatever you call it, it can be downright miserable. Contact your physician to consult on your allergy symptoms. And then contact us to consult on your weekly lawn service needs.
