For those of you wondering, this is ragweed!
It was blowing in the wind on my walk today.

Once you learn to identify it, you will begin to see it everywhere.

Ragweed grows anywhere there is disturbed earth: roadsides, fields, open lots, along streams, and along riverbeds.

It grows in rural, suburban, and urban areas.
Its the pollen that is responsible for millions of people's fall allergy symptoms.

An individual ragweed plant can release up to one billion pollen particles in a season!

Its pollen is small, light weight, and carried by the wind. Ragweed pollen can stay afloat for days.
The bottom line is that there is no escape from it...

If you are experiencing allergy symptoms this time of year there is a good chance ragweed is responsible.

Limiting your exposure to ragweed pollen can make a big difference in your symptoms. Try these environmental control measures:

👉Keep windows closed during peak pollen hours (usually early morning).
👉Use HEPA filters in your home’s air conditioning or furnace system.
👉Shower and change clothes after spending time outdoors.
👉Check daily pollen counts on trusted weather or allergy tracking apps.
👉Limit outdoor activity on high-pollen or windy days.

🌟OIT GRADUATION SPOTLIGHT🌟
Congratulations to this Milk/Sesame OIT Grad! 🥛 🥯 🍕

Thank you for sharing your heartfelt OIT experience.

“I can't believe this journey is finally over! I can finally say that I am free. Free of the fear that came with my food allergies! Never have I thought in my 23 years that I would get to see myself free of the constant fear and anxiety that my food allergies brought me! Oral immunotherapy (OIT) was truly a commitment and it took dedication and strength over the past year! I want to thank for this truly life changing treatment and getting me through this journey love you all!! I have freedom to eat dairy and sesame without fear and I am proud! I couldn't have done it without support from my friends, boyfriend, and family.
Now time for some pizza!!!”
