May 1^st, 2003 Due to the rather rain-free spring to date, tree pollen and outdoor mold levels have been higher than usual since early April.  Tree pollen patients seem to be experiencing more eye symptoms than compared to recent years.

 

May 20^th, 2003  Tree pollen levels have fallen to moderate and low levels this week.  Grass pollen continues to climb and the peak “very high” grass pollen level days are just ahead.  Moderate amounts of outdoor mold spores are seen and about average for this time of  year.

 

June 4^th, 2003  Tree pollen levels continue in the low range.  Grass pollen is at it’s peak and yesterday a “very high” level greater than 200 pollen grains/cubic meter/24 hour average was reached.  So far the grass pollen levels have been similar to past years.  Outdoor mold spores are increasing with the damper weather.
