I actually got to drive into the office this morning without my wiper blades going full blast. The mold counts are going to be high for a while after all that rain. I just hope all the rivers in west Texas are running. I would love to float the frio

It feels like we are going to be washed off the surface. I keep telling myself that we need the rain, which we do. But, I am getting tired of it. I am very glad that the hill country is getting rain. Now we will be able to float the Frio, Guadalupe and comal rivers. More importantly , San Antonio and Corpus christi won't run out of water.

Tree season is over, but the grass pollen and mold spore counts are up. We are supposed to have an El Nino year this year. Which means more rain through the summer. Hopefully not as hot also. Hopefully the aquafers will fill up as well and the rivers will start running again. Sounds like a lot of wishes to me. My big hope is that you all have a good summer with lots of outdoor activities.

i am starting to see pollen anthers on the ground but, there are still plenty of them still in the trees. The oaks and ashes should be finished soon. The pecan trees and ligustrums will start soon. We should have about 2 more weeks of tree pollen. If you are having symptoms we can help. Don't suffer unnecessarily.

Looking at the pollen counts from Houston health department this morning is interesting. On Friday the tree pollen count was 800, mold count 7000. This morming after the rain the tree pollen count was 400 and the mold count was 14,000. So we traded high pollen counts for high mold counts. This is typical. Knowing what you are allergic to is helpful, it helps to predict when your symptoms will flare.

The rain this weekend will knock the pollen out of the airso tree allergic people should get a break for the next few days. Enjoy the lower pollen counts.

Oak pollen count almost doubled compared to yesterday. If this is a typical tree season that means we have about 6 weeks longer with elevated tree pollen counts. If you are having symptoms, please come get help. You don't need to suffer needlessly. There is a lot we can do to minimize the misery.

Went to the ranch last weekend. It is very dry in the hill country. The cedar trees are still releasing pollen in large amounts. That's why everyone's nose and eyes are itching. Nasal steroid sprays will help with both nose and eye symptoms, but they must be used daily. Nasal steroids are preventives, not symptoms relievers.

Driving in today I noticed several trees that are now pollenating. Checking the Houston health department pollen counts show that cedar, oak, ash and elm are all high today. If you haven't started your nasal steroid spray start it now. Something else I was reminded of, if running your car A/C select the recycle cabin air mode. This decreases the amount of pollen that gets into your car.
