“Agbrosia pollen will be a major irritant for allergy sufferers in late August,” the National Aerobiological Monitoring Network (RNSA) warned on Friday. In 13 departments “allergy risk will be high”: Gare, Vaucluse, Drome, Ardèche, Isère, Ain, Rhone, Saone and Loire, Allier, Nièvre, Cher, Indre and Creuse.
According to RNSA forecast maps, these areas should remain at a high level of allergen risk until at least August 30th. And “the risk of allergies in the border areas will be low to medium.”
Allergy sufferers, however, will be entitled to a “little reprieve” this weekend due to storms “that will sweep pollen off the ground.” But beware of concentrations that will rise sharply again on Monday,” warns the RNSA.
According to ANSES (the national agency for health security), between 1 and 3.5 million people in France are allergic to this pollen. Ambrosia “is an invasive plant native to North America,” she explains, and allergies due to its pollen “are late: pollination peaks in mid-August and mid-September. »
