Pollen that comes from plants 161 which fertilize through the air are a common trigger for symptoms of seasonal allergies (hay fever). 162 <br/><br/> 163 <img ibis:src="view/image/health/breathing/PollenIntro.jpg" style="width: 92%;" title="Pollen"/> 164 <br style="clear: both"/><br/> 165 <ibis:ExpandableContent titleLevel="3"><SHOW/> 166 <TITLE>Pollen in New Mexico and Seasonal Allergies</TITLE> 167 <CONTENT> 168 The allergies a person suffers will vary from person to person, even within the same 169 household and symptoms of seasonal allergies differ from season to season. The onset 170 and intensity of symptoms depends on what pollen a person is allergic to, how much of 171 that pollen is in the air and how much contact a person has had with the pollen. 172 <br/><br/> 173 A person can reduce these symptoms by planning activities that limit exposure to pollen. 174 This can include staying indoors during peak pollination times of the pollen he/she is 175 allergic to, changing bedding more frequently, and washing hair daily. If you suffer from 176 allergies, or you have symptoms that you think might be allergies, you should talk with your 177 healthcare provider to determine which pollens you are allergic to. Then you can discuss which 178 medications will reduce or prevent symptoms and what you can do to limit your contact with the 179 pollen causing your symptoms. 180 <br/><br/> 181 People in central New Mexico may be interested in knowing which trees, shrubs and grasses are 182 common in the area. The City of Albuquerque's Air Quality program lists the following vegetation 183 in the Albuquerque area which are often associated with season allergies: 184 <br/> 185 <ul class="Indent"> 186 <li>Juniper/Cedar</li> 187 <li>Elm</li> 188 <li>Ash</li> 189 <li>Cottonwood</li> 190 <li>Mulberry</li> 191 <li>Chenopodiaceae (common weeds)</li> 192 <li>Sage</li> 193 <li>Grass</li> 194 <li>Ragweed</li> 195 </ul> 196 </CONTENT> 197 </ibis:ExpandableContent> 198 <ibis:ExpandableContent titleLevel="3"><SHOW/> 199 <TITLE>Common Pollination Periods in New Mexico</TITLE> 200 <CONTENT> 201 Weather conditions such as wind, can affect how much pollen is carried in the air, 202 but usually not when pollination occurs. The typical pollen season begins in early 203 spring and ends on the first fall freeze, which for much of New Mexico, typically 204 occurs in late October and early November. 205 <br/><br/> 206 <img ibis:src="view/image/health/breathing/Pollen.jpg" style="width: 88%;" title="Common Pollination Periods in New Mexico"/> 207 <br style="clear: both"/><br/> 208 If you notice a rise in symptoms in early spring, usually in March and April, this may be 209 due to allergies of tree pollens. In central and northern New Mexico, often those trees 210 are Juniper and Cottonwood. Juniper is known to begin releasing pollen as early as December, 211 peaking in March and April. Cottonwood typically begins pollinating in March and this lasts through June. 212 <br/><br/> 213 Typically weeds pollinate in late summer and fall. Weeds associated with seasonal allergies 214 include ragweed (there are several kinds) and sagebrush. Russian thistle, more commonly known as 215 tumbleweed, tends to pollinate from spring through summer. 216 <br/><br/> 217 <span class="Bold">Common Pollination Periods in Central New Mexico/ Albuquerque Metro Area</span> 218 <br/><br/> 219 During spring and summer months, many people travel to central New Mexico for sporting events, 220 tournaments, shopping, and school field trips. The following guide may be useful when planning activities 221 for people who suffer from seasonal allergies, whether they live in, visit or shop in central New Mexico. 222 Albuquerque's pollen season lasts from March 1st through October 1st. This is based on information from the 223 City of Albuquerque Air Quality Bureau. 224 <br/><br/> 225 <img ibis:src="view/image/health/breathing/PollinationPeriods.jpg" style="width: 88%;" title="Common Pollination Periods in New Mexico"/> 226 <br style="clear: both"/><br/> 227 <ul class="Indent"> 228 <li>Juniper/Cedar pollen is produced from January through April and from September through December.</li> 229 <li>Elm pollen is produced from January through April.</li> 230 <li>Ash pollen is produced from March through June.</li> 231 <li>Cottonwood pollen is produced from March through June.</li> 232 <li>Mulberry pollen is produced from April through May.</li> 233 <li>Chenopodiaceae (common weeds) pollen is produced from April through August.</li> 234 <li>Sage pollen is produced from May through August.</li> 235 <li>Grass pollen is produced from May through October.</li> 236 <li>Ragweed pollen is produced from August through October.</li> 237 </ul> 238 <br/> 239 City of Albuquerque Air Quality Bureau: <a href="https://www.cabq.gov/airquality/todays-status/pollen">https://www.cabq.gov/airquality/todays-status/pollen</a> 240 </CONTENT> 241 </ibis:ExpandableContent> 242 </CONTENT> 243 </ibis:ExpandableContent> 154 244 155 245 <!-- <ibis:ExpandableContent titleLevel="3"><SHOW/> … … 160 250 </ibis:ExpandableContent> 161 251 --> 162 </CONTENT> 163 </ibis:ExpandableContent> 252 164 253 165 254 <!-- <ibis:ExpandableContent titleLevel="2">
