WEEKLY WEATHER
AND HEALTH FORECAST,
plus news you can use!
Late summer/early fall 2009
Vacationers should be relieved by our forecast of no pending acute health alerts
nationwide. Caution should be exercised near flood waters across
the Gulf coast states and seasonal guidelines for heat stroke and exhaustion heeded in Florida. In the Rockies, hikers should be mindful that lightning can strike
with little warning and shelter should be sought when afternoon monsoon rains develop.
As September arrives, the pollen season returns, especially for folks suffering from
Ragweed. Dr. Charles Whitney explains;
RAGWEED SEASON IS HERE
August 15th is the unofficial start of Ragweed Season. For
the country's 35 million seasonal allergy sufferers, this means an onslaught
sneezing, wheezing, and sinus infections!
RAGWEED FACTS
- Ragweed is common throughout the Northeast,
South and Midwest.
- A ragweed plant produces one billion pollen
grains during a normal season.
- Because of their light weight, ragweed grains can travel up to 400 miles!
- Even in urban settings, ragweed sufferers can experience symptoms, because
the weed grows easily in parking lots.
- Ragweed more commonly grows in fields and along
roadsides, blooming from mid august to the first heavy frost.
