Mulberry

Wednesday's Comments

Another big spike in pollen and mold today!! There are very high levels of Mulberry and Pine tree in the air and individuals sensitive to these trees may experience symptoms. Mold had a big spike today too with very high levels of Cladosporium. Take extra caution if you have symptoms to these allergens. Take medication as needed. Keep following the pollen and mold counts to follow the trends!

Laser particle counts are the number of particles per cubic meter divided into 6 different size ranges. A laser beam literally counts the number of such particles as they are sucked past a detector. There is evidence that increased numbers of particles, particularly in the smaller ranges, are associated with heart diseases. That is why we measure it.
