Ragweed pollen is a fine powder produced by the ragweed plant, which is a common allergen in many regions, especially in North America. It is released into the air during late summer and fall, typically from August to November. The pollen can travel long distances, making it difficult for people with allergies to avoid exposure. People who are sensitive to ragweed pollen may experience symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes. These reactions are part of hay fever, a common allergic condition. Monitoring pollen counts can help individuals manage their symptoms during peak ragweed pollen seasons.
