During what months is Crested Wheatgrass pollen most prevalent?

Crested Wheatgrass is a common type of grass found in temperate regions, often grown for grazing or erosion control. Its pollen, like many types of grass pollen, is most prevalent from late spring to early summer, typically from around May through to July. However, the precise timing can vary based on the specific geographic location and weather patterns each year. Warm, dry, and windy days tend to encourage higher levels of pollen release, while rainy days can help to wash the pollen out of the air.

The symptoms of a Crested Wheatgrass pollen allergy are similar to those of many other pollen allergies, and can include sneezing, runny or congested nose, itchy or watery eyes, and sometimes coughing, wheezing or difficulty breathing in more severe cases.

If you suffer from this type of allergy, it can be beneficial to monitor local pollen forecasts, which are often provided by weather services or health organizations, and to minimize outdoor activities on days when the pollen count is high. There are also various allergy medications available that can help to manage symptoms, including antihistamines, decongestants, and nasal corticosteroids. For more severe allergies, immunotherapy (allergy shots) may be an option to consider under the supervision of a healthcare provider.
