Ragweed and other weeds such as curly dock, lambs quarters, pigweed, plantain, sheep sorrel and sagebrush are some of the most prolific producers of pollen allergens.
Although the ragweed pollen season runs from August to November, ragweed pollen levels usually peak in Mid September in many areas in the country.
In addition, pollen counts are highest between 5 - 10 AM and on dry, hot and windy days.
