During grass scalping season, lots of pollen is released into the air, which makes this time of year particularly difficult for allergy sufferers.
If you have seasonal allergies, sometimes it can feel as though the sneezing and sniffling will never end. According to a recent article published in The Desert Sun, a Coachella Valley, California news publication, October can be especially hard on allergy sufferers, as it’s a popular time of year for grass scalping.
“The pollen that grows at the top of each blade of grass is released into the air in the late spring and early summer,” explains the source. “That pollen continues to grow and, in the case of the Coachella Valley, is released en masse when grass — particularly with the extreme number of golf courses we have — is cut down completely to prepare for winter seeding.”
The news outlet reports that even people who normally don’t have pollen allergies suffer throughout grass scalping season and it can be particularly difficult on young children who may also be battling colds during this time of the year.
Unfortunately, experts say that the best way for people in Coachella Valley to prevent unpleasant symptoms is to limit the amount of time they spend outdoors, which, the source notes, is a frustrating solution for local residents who enjoy being outside now that the cool fall weather is here.
