Flowering ragweed plant growing outside, a common allergen
Ragweed pollen is a problem for allergy sufferers. If you are noticing the typical signs this time of year: itchy, watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing and just plain misery…it could be ragweed and other offenders that produce a high pollen count this time of year. Of Americans who have allergies to pollen-producing plants, 75 percent are allergic to ragweed.
Ragweed is a flowering plant that produces heavy amounts of pollen grains that easily travel through the air. Even one plant can produce 1 billion pollen grains!
