Why Allergies Are Worse in Jonesboro
Jonesboro sits on Crowley's Ridge above the Mississippi Delta, where flooded rice and soybean fields and humid bottomlands keep outdoor mold spore counts elevated and agricultural dust compounds allergy symptoms.
Delta Flooding and Mold
Irrigated rice paddies and soybean fields in the surrounding Delta create persistent moisture that sustains high outdoor mold spore counts from spring through fall.
Crowley's Ridge Forest Pollen
The upland hardwood forests of Crowley's Ridge produce concentrated oak, hickory, and sweetgum pollen that drifts across Jonesboro's elevated position.
Agricultural Dust and Ragweed
Delta row-crop agriculture generates harvest dust and supports dense ragweed stands along field edges, intensifying fall allergy symptoms in the Jonesboro area.
