Ragweed pollen is currently running high, causing issues for allergy sufferers. This type of pollen, also known as Ambrosia, typically peaks in certain areas during September and October.
Ragweed season begins in August and will continue until the first freeze of the season, at which point the colder air will stop ragweed growth. Other allergens, such as tree pollen and mold, are also present in moderate levels, while grass pollen is low.
