Monday s Pollen Level (Copyright 2020 by WJXT News4Jax - All rights reserved.)
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Florida weather has been sunny and warm this past week. It’s the perfect time of year to be outside, but with that comes itchy eyes and sneezing as pollen accumulates on your skin and clothes.
Over the weekend, pollen levels jumped as high as 10.2, and they sat at 10.4 on Monday.
News4Jax spoke with immunologist Dr. Sunil Joshi, president of the Duval County Medical Society Foundation, about several ways to combat allergies.
“Taking nighttime baths, nighttime showers, could make a big difference in terms of washing a lot of that pollen off of your skin, your hair, and putting on a new pair of clothes before you go to bed as well,” Joshi said.
