If you are allergic, now is the time to discover the Isle of Beauty. According to the latest RNSA bulletin, Corsica and the Alpes-Maritimes will be the only ones to show a low level of grasses.
The rest of the country is still stuck under a cloud of pollen. A situation that could last since the flowering of the grasses is not yet over. “The risk of allergy will always be high to very high over the next few days,” said the experts.
They add that allergy symptoms are expected to be exacerbated by pollution. People with asthma will also complain about thunderstorms which should increase breathing difficulties and seizures.
Ambrosia arrives
In addition to grasses, linden pollens will also be present next week, “causing symptoms in their vicinity”, specifies the RNSA bulletin. Chestnuts and urticaceae (nettle) will also be on the rise but will not or little bother allergic people.
On the other hand, allergy sufferers will have to be extra vigilant with regard to ragweed. The most allergenic pollen in France should appear very soon because this weed begins to grow.
RNSA experts strongly recommend that allergy sufferers learn to recognize this wild plant and pull it out if they find it in their path. Its presence can also be reported on the site www.signalement-ambroisie.fr
