Pollens

Pollens are tiny grains produced by plants, including grasses, trees, and flowers, which contain the male reproductive cells needed for plant reproduction. When a plant releases pollen into the air, it can be carried by wind or animals to fertilize other plants of the same species. For some people, pollen can trigger allergic reactions like sneezing, runny nose, or itchy eyes. Pollen levels vary daily and are influenced by weather, plant types, and geographic location. Understanding pollen helps manage allergies and predicts allergy seasons.
