Experts say Florida is one of the worst states in the country for allergies this month.
On Thursday, the pollen count is expected to be even higher than on Wednesday in our area.
The trees with the top allergens right now are oak, bayberry and juniper.
A high pollen count can have a big effect on some people and asthma can be triggered by pollen, causing you to cough or have shortness of breath.
Oak trees specifically spew large amounts of microscopic particles that make our nose, throats and eyes miserable this time of year.
You may have seen some of those yellow dust particles on your cars from those trees.
Pollen counts are the highest between 5 a.m. and 10 a.m., so plan your outdoor activities accordingly.
