Many of us welcome the warmer weather that spring has to offer, but for some it's a time of misery if they suffer from allergies. Clair Hugo tells us more in this Bobcat Update.
The tree pollen count is up, and people are noticing an increase in allergy symptoms
SOUNDBITE
Pollen may be an irritant to those who don't usually suffer from seasonal allergies. Unlike bee-pollinated trees, Oak and Juniper pollens often cause the worst symptoms due to wind pollination. This year it seems to be worse.
STANDUP
Another tell-tale sign of spring is the ever present yellow dust that you can find outdoors. For the allergy-sufferer, it's not a welcome sight. It usually means that a trip to the local pharmacy is in order.

For now, we can only hope that rain will reduce the pollen count. For Bobcat Update, I'm Clair Hugo.
