Grass Allergy
Grass Allergies are caused by pollen production. Grass pollen is regional as well as seasonal. In addition, grass pollen levels can be affected by temperature, time of day and rain. Of the 1,200 species of grass that grow in North America, only a small percentage of these cause allergies. Speak with an allergists in your area to find out the most common type of grasses in your area.



The most common grasses that can cause allergies, nationwide are:
Bermuda grass
Johnson grass
Bahia grass
Kentucky bluegrass
Orchard grass
Sweet vernal grass
Timothy grass



Preventive Strategies:
If you have a grass lawn, have someone else do the mowing. If you must mow the lawn yourself, wear a mask.
Keep grass cut short
Choose ground covers that don't produce much pollen, such as Irish moss, bunch, and dichondra.
Avoid the outdoors between 5-10 am. Save outside activities for late afternoon or after a heavy rain, when pollen levels are lower.
Keep windows in your home and car closed to lower exposure to pollen. To keep cool, use air conditioners and avoid using window and attic fans.
Be aware that pollen can also be transported indoors on people and pets.
Dry your clothes in an automatic dryer rather than hanging them outside. Otherwise pollen can collect on clothing and be carried indoors.
