Pollen Count
Tracking tree, grass, weed, ragweed, and mold levels to help patients in Southern Indiana anticipate allergy symptoms.
About Our Pollen Tracking
Allergy & Asthma of Southern Indiana, P.C. monitors regional pollen and mold levels as part of our patient support. This information is shared to help patients recognize seasonal patterns that may affect allergic rhinitis, asthma, and related sinus symptoms.
Below is a pollen count reading previously published on our site for reference. Because pollen levels change from day to day and season to season, treat this as a historical example rather than today's conditions. For the most recent figures, please contact our Bloomington office directly.
| Category | Reading | Level |
|---|---|---|
| Tree | 22 | Medium |
| Grasses | No Count | 0 |
| Weed | No Count | 0 |
| Ragweed | No Count | 0 |
| Mold | 1650 | Low |
This reading illustrates how tree, grass, weed, ragweed, and mold levels are reported side by side so patients can see which allergens may be most active at a given time of year.
Managing Symptoms Year-Round
Pollen and mold levels shift with the seasons, and many patients find it helpful to track counts alongside their symptoms. Our practice offers allergy shots (allergen immunotherapy) as a long-term treatment option for allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma for both pediatric and adult patients.
Understanding local pollen and mold counts can help patients with allergies and asthma plan their days more comfortably. When levels are elevated, symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy eyes, and sinus pressure often increase, and those with asthma may notice tighter airways or increased coughing. Our practice encourages patients to monitor these readings alongside their medication routines, since early awareness can reduce flare-ups and improve overall breathing comfort. By tracking seasonal trends across Southern Indiana, patients and families can anticipate high-exposure periods and adjust outdoor activities accordingly. Simple steps like keeping windows closed during peak counts or rinsing off after time outdoors can make a meaningful difference in managing allergy symptoms throughout the year.
