Why Allergies Are Worse in St. George
St. George's Mojave-Great Basin transition zone creates a desert pollen profile distinct from the Wasatch Front, dominated by ornamental non-native species and persistent desert heat.
Mojave-Great Basin Transition
St. George sits in Utah's Dixie at the convergence of the Mojave Desert and Great Basin, where red-rock heat and imported ornamental trees create a pollen profile more like Las Vegas than Salt Lake City.
Non-Native Ornamental Trees
Imported mulberry, olive, and ash trees planted in St. George's rapid residential development produce concentrated spring pollen in the warm desert climate.
Desert Dust and Heat
Red-rock desert dust and extreme summer heat dry mucous membranes and keep pollen airborne, intensifying irritation from already-allergenic species.
