In fact, the source of pollen that is prone to allergies in summer and autumn is usually not colorful flowers, but comes from some weeds such as artemisia , quinoa grass, ramweed , ragweed , etc. Their pollen is usually transmitted by the help of wind power. The dry autumn air is conducive to the spread of pollen and is more sensitized. In Shanghai, the more is the most common one. The genus pollen of the genus genus.
