Ragweed and mugwort continue to be a nuisance!

The pollen count of allergenic mugwort has passed its peak. Even on dry days, there will be no more than a low level of exposure; only in the immediate vicinity of larger populations is there a significant allergy risk.
However, it should also be noted that mugwort pollen allergy suffererscan also be sensitised to ragweed pollen, which can prolong their suffering.
The ragweed season continues. The inflorescences release a myriad of pollen during their flowering period, but even low concentrations in the air are enough to cause discomfort. Further cross-reactions with other representatives are possible, for example with goldenrod, sunflower, camomile and arnica.
Nettle pollen dominates the "airspace" in terms of numbers. This is mostly harmless in contrast to the pollen of glasswort (a close relative of stinging nettle), which is native to the Mediterranean and consistently triggers allergic reactions.
The pollen concentrations of dock and plantain gradually decrease.
