I have an allergy to almost every pollen produced by plants between March and August, so I hate modern civilization with every fiber of the universe. In my case, it's an itchy skin condition which makes me loose my mind.

— @J.S.Arthur

Allergy season is upon us once again. And if it seems like your allergies are getting worse year after year, it’s not just your imagination.

Pollen is a fine powder produced as part of the sexual reproductive cycle of many varieties of plants. As climate change warms the planet, pollen production is ramping up. And that’s becoming a problem, whether you suffer from seasonal allergies — or not.

God I hate maple trees with every fiber of the universe

tbh im confused because I thought planting trees helps climate change, so it is a good thing. but this video is saying that more plants will increase pollen levels while also saying climate change is bad.

The world ending may not be enough reason to reduce GHG-emissions. But for the love of god, we should get rid of all these pollen.

This is really helpful, thank you! I’d also suggest trying tulsi Capsules by Planet Ayurveda – it’s known to be very effective.

In India I do not see this much pollen even though there is so much co2 and pollution. Isn’t this related to particular types of tree.

In kashmir, American poplar saplings were imported in 1982 from America under a World Bank aided social forestry scheme, and we are suffering a lot by these pollens!!!

As a life-long pollen allergy sufferer I find it comical whenever I check the pollen count in early spring and summer, and they list Ragweed - zero. And I'm just sitting here going well duh because ragweed doesn't bloom and thus toss its pollen into the air until late summer/early fall!

But hey, I guess they leave that info out so less informed people can feel better, they probably think, oh the tree and grass pollen is really high today, but the ragweed pollen count is zero so that's good! LOL!

Okay at this moment in time its pollen allergy season. I remember how much I suffered through my childhood today I dont remember the last time I had full allergies due to pollen. With this said I had to come here and offer some tips to people who are looking for a solution. 1 workout year round. do this to build the bodies immune system please. 2. go outside. yes go outside and make sure you get enough sunlight and make your body used to the environment do not shy away from the pollen. 3 most importantly yearly take vitamin C(which is a natural antihistamine) and locally sourced honey.(not he regular grocery store brand but something that's extreme on the quality stage try and eat several fruits and make your own fruit juices at home. It worked for me and I hope it will work for you guys.

After 55 years of life, I finally successfully cured my non-stop allergies and asthma. For me, it was an allergic reaction to wheat and milk. Both of those are eaten in almost every food in the US. It's everywhere. When the body reacts against wheat and milk, it causes inflamation. And inflamation creates the perfect storm in the body - when natural allergens like mold or pollen come rolling in, the body is already tilting in that direction, making it very very easy to completely tip over into a full blown allergic reaction and/or asthma. If you have mega allergies/asthma, do yourself a kindness - try taking out wheat and milk from your diet. Completely remove it. And you may find yourself completely amazed, but more importantly, relieved. Good luck my friends.



Note: before I removed wheat and milk, I did use stinging nettle tea successfully, but it only treated the symptom, not the cause. Just a day later, I would be slammed with the major flu-like symptoms of allergies, or gasping with asthma. At the very least, take out wheat and milk. Treat the cause.

No thank you…

@BryinWillis-e8g

Due to rise in temperature (Global warming/Climate Change) this pollen allergies are going to get worse and may lead to inflammation in lungs for which there is no fullproof medical research is being done.

A great move would be stop the whole giant manicured lawn trend in the west. More natural areas on your property and less lawn mowers stirring up pollen EVERYDAY and double whammy, less hydrocarbon output from lawn mowers.

@nomadautodidact

Eat well. Carbon monoxide would be more of an issue

It's all in the mind. People just need to be more positive.
