Not every allergic reaction needs the ER — but that doesn’t mean you should wait it out alone.

If you’re dealing with ongoing hives, swelling, itching, or another allergic reaction that isn’t improving, getting evaluated early can help get the reaction under control and start figuring out what’s causing it.

I keep same-day urgent visits available for situations like this whenever possible.

If you’re having trouble breathing, throat swelling, feeling faint, or signs of a severe reaction, use epinephrine if prescribed and call 911.

For ongoing, non-emergency allergic reactions, give us a call. My goal is to get you feeling safe, treated appropriately, and hopefully keep you out of the ER.

Sedona pollen and allergy update 🌿

The latest Sedona pollen collection is showing a HIGH level of sagebrush, with lower levels of mold, grass, chenopod, and ragw**d also present in the air.

As temperatures continue to cool, we’re starting to see the fall pollen pattern change across Arizona, especially with more w**d pollination beginning to show up.

This is one of the reasons local pollen collection is so important. Allergy conditions can vary dramatically from one city to another, and what is actually being collected in the air does not always match a broad regional pollen forecast.

Through PollyKit and PollyMap, we’re helping allergy clinics collect and track pollen and mold directly in their own communities.

If you run an allergy, asthma, ENT, or medical clinic and would like to become a local pollen collection site, send us a message. We’re expanding the PollyMap collection network across the country.

🌿 Mystery pollen solved: Cannabis.

And funny enough… there’s a ma*****na dispensary right down the street from our Phoenix collection site. Coincidence? Maybe. 😂

🌵 Phoenix Pollen Report: Things are picking up.

We’re seeing higher levels of chenopod pollen and grass pollen on the latest Phoenix air sample — but there’s also something else showing up that has my attention.

I’m finding a pollen type that I haven’t confidently identified yet, and there’s enough of it on the sample that I want to dig deeper before putting a name on it.

Could it be contributing to some of the allergy symptoms people around Phoenix are noticing right now? Possibly — but I’m not going to call it until I’m confident in the identification.

That’s one of the reasons we actually collect and look at what’s in the air locally. Sometimes the microscope shows us things the traditional seasonal pollen calendar doesn’t predict.

More to come once I figure this one out. 🔬🌾

Our Flagstaff pollen collection site is an official PollyMap collection location, maintained by Carefree Allergy to help track what is actually showing up in Northern Arizona air.

On the latest outdoor PollyKit sample, we counted 27 Artemisia-type pollen grains — a high level for this collection. Artemisia includes plants such as sagebrush and mugwort, which can be significant allergy triggers.

We also found:

* Chenopod pollen
* Grass pollen
* Other Asteraceae-type pollen

Recent monsoon rain, wind, sunshine, and late-summer plant growth appear to be keeping w**d pollen active. As Flagstaff continues cooling down, we’ll be watching closely to see how these levels change.

If your allergies are acting up right now, Carefree Allergy can help.

What was actually in the Phoenix air after yesterday’s massive storm? 🌩️ We checked.

Description:
After the major Phoenix storm yesterday, we took a closer look at what was showing up on the local air sample.

We found grass pollen, chenopod pollen, a few scattered tree pollen grains, and Alternaria mold spores.

Storms can completely change what is moving through the air. Heavy wind can stir up pollen and debris, while rain and moisture can also create conditions that affect fungal spores like Alternaria.

The next few days may be even more interesting. As the sun comes back out and temperatures rise again, we’ll be watching to see whether pollen or mold levels begin to increase or shift.

This is why we continue collecting and analyzing actual Phoenix-area air samples rather than relying only on what is traditionally expected to be pollinating.

Stay tuned for the next Phoenix pollen and mold report.

Phoenix Pollen Report: Quiet on the Pollen Front, Busy on the Bug Front

The latest Phoenix air sample is showing very little pollen right now, which is good news if seasonal allergies have been bothering you.

What is showing up in abundance? Bugs. Lots of them. We’re seeing a noticeable number of tiny insects and insect particles on the collection samples, which may be related to a recent hatch after the monsoon season.

So for the moment, the Phoenix pollen picture is fairly calm.

That said, this is probably a temporary lull. As temperatures begin to cool, we expect fall w**d pollen to start increasing, including plants like ragw**d, chenopods, Russian thistle, and other desert w**ds.

If you’re sensitive to fall pollen, the next few weeks are worth watching.

We’ll keep collecting local air samples and reporting what we actually see under the microscope here in Phoenix.

Sedona has a new pollen report through September 2nd, and chenopod pollen was the main thing showing up in the air sample.

The levels were noticeably lower than what we’re seeing in Flagstaff, but chenopods are still the dominant pollen right now.

There were also a few scattered finds, including juniper and one unidentified pollen grain that may be from a tree or w**d.

One of the biggest things that stood out, though, was the amount of dust on the sample. There was a lot of it.

So overall, the latest Sedona pollen report shows lower pollen levels than Flagstaff, mostly chenopods, a few scattered other pollens, and a significant amount of airborne dust.

These reports are based on particles actually collected from the local Sedona air and reviewed under the microscope.

Flagstaff pollen is running very high right now — and chenopods are the clear standout.

I reviewed the Flagstaff air sample collected from August 21 through September 2, and the amount of chenopod pollen was heavy enough that I’m calling it a severe level.

I also found a small amount of grass pollen and some sage, but chenopods were overwhelmingly dominant on this sample.

If your allergies have suddenly gotten worse in Flagstaff, especially with outdoor exposure, this could be a major reason why.

These reports are based on actual particles collected from the local air and then identified under the microscope — not just a seasonal forecast.

We talked about a lot of things today, but her allergies are improving! Thanks to drops! We are still working on that dog allergy, because she has FOUR. That’s a lot of dander. It’s okay, we are fixing that! Thanks Julie!
