Heading outside?
Get the pollen count.
The pollen count is a measure of the amount of pollen in the air at a given time. It is typically expressed as the number of grains of pollen per cubic meter of air.
PollenCast Winter 2024
The winter season in the Heart of Texas sees the unopposed pollination of mountain cedar (Juniperus ashei), which we Central Texans have coined “cedar fever.” Sinus congestion, sneezing, wheezing, and even tomato intolerance can occur with cedar sensitivity! Alongside mountain cedar, there’s a rise in a smattering of outdoor mold spores that love floating around on windy winter days. What often goes unnoticed is increased exposure to indoor allergens like dust mites or cat and dog dander as we spend more time indoors during the cooler months.
