If you are planning to work outside for a few hours, taking a look at pollen counts in your area can help you know what to expect. However, keep in mind, even if your app or website or news program shows a high pollen count, it doesn’t always mean that you will have a reaction equal to the level of pollens.
That’s because there are different kinds of pollen spread by grasses, weeds, and trees and you likely have different reactions to each one of those. If the pollen count is low, but you spend time outside and find yourself triggered, there could be a strong concentration of specific pollen that is causing your allergic reaction.
At Allergy Clinic – Idaho, we can test for specific pollens and help you find relief from your symptoms.
Also, we offer immunotherapy to help your body become desensitized to the pollens.
And, it’s important to us that we educate our patients so that they have the knowledge to make the best choices for their health. Learn more about our health care providers here and watch some videos that explain our approach and passion at Allergy Clinic – Idaho.
