Weed Allergies
The term weed usually refers to a plant that is not considered of value, neither economically nor aesthetically. Usually a plant, which grows where it is not wanted, amongst more desirable plants, for example in a vegetable plot or flowerbeds. Sage and helianthus are included here due to the fact that they have more in common with the category 'weed' than either trees or grasses.



The main weeds that cause the most common allergic reactions are the following:
Amaranthaceae (Pigweeds)
Ragweed (Ambrosia)
Chenopodiaceae (Goosefoot)
Helianthus Sage (Salvia officinalis)
Dandelion (Taraxacum)
Mugwort (Artemisia)
Urticaceae (Nettle family)
Plantain (Plantago)
Wall Pellitory ( Parietaria)
Goldenrod (Solidago)


This is not the best and most extenstive list of all the weeds which produce allergy-inducing pollens. This list merely intends to provide some basic information on some of the main weed pollens, which are responsible for causing seasonal allergic reactions. Further information can be obtained by contacting your local/national pollen monitoring service. Any suggestions and relevant information are very welcome!

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.
If you enjoy gardening, wear gloves and a mask.
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.
