There are certain facts that you should know about pollen. You have to take note that grass, weeds and trees produce a considerable amount of pollen. The most productive producer of pollen is the ragweed. The ragweed is likely to be responsible for causing up to 75% of all the pollen allergies. The pollen sensitivity is also caused by various types of weeds, even some grass varieties such as Bermuda grass and Timothy grass as well as some weeds. People usually refer to pollen allergies as hay fever, seasonal allergic rhinitis or pollinosis.

The general symptoms of pollen allergy includes the following – stuffy and watery nose, recurring or lengthened sneezing, itchy and swelling eyes, headache and sore throat, trouble in sleeping at night due to breathing difficulty, itchy throat, mouth and nose. All these symptoms can become harsher if acquired every year by an individual. This eventually leads to persistent sinusitis, asthma, headaches or ear problems.

If you are constantly suffering from sneezing, congestion, itchy runny nose and watery eyes, you might be suffering from seasonal allergic rhinitis or also known as hay fever. It usually strikes once the pollen starts to fly out in the environment. According to CDC, approximately millions of adults and children suffer from hay fever. Luckily, there are certain steps that people with allergies can use in order to avoid pollen and what it brings.

Take note that it is not the type of pollen since grass, trees and weeds can all cause a pollen allergy. Rather, it solely depends on where an individual lives and how long the growing season there lasts. You have to remember that a longer growing season generally produces more symptoms of pollen allergy. In locations such as Georgia and California, there are fairly long growing seasons for the grass pollen. This leads to high levels of pollen present in the atmosphere, thus leads to the production of symptoms. The trees which characteristically pollinate in the springtime as well as the weeds which pollinate in the autumn season can also result to considerable harm for those with pollen allergy.

If a person is allergic to grass and will go out and mow the lawn or cutting plants, it is a must to wear to mask. In addition, it is advisable to keep the windows closed at all times at home and in the car throughout the pollen seasons.  If someone has an immense contact to pollen, it is recommended to remove the garments when they enter inside the house and take a shower or clean up. It is also believed that the grass pollen intensity is likely to reach high levels during the late afternoon and during early evening. It is best for those individuals allergic to pollen to avoid any outside activities throughout those times.

Is there a way to escape from pollen? The answer is no. In some cases, others thought that moving to another part of the country can help, but in reality, it is still the same. Take note that there are certainly locations that have short-lived growing seasons than others. On the other hand, people discover that if they transfer to a different region of the country in order to flee a particular kind of pollen, they may have become more used to the pollen in the site where they moved. Moving is not the answer to escape your pollen allergies and it is not recommended since it is a drastic and life changing measure. Today, there are already treatments that are effective so that you no longer need to take a drastic step.

Pollen is difficult to avoid since during the allergy season, it is everywhere. Even if it is practical to stay inside when the pollen presence is high, the pollen can still find a way to enter indoors. There are certain steps that you can take in order to reduce your exposure to pollen and help provide relief to your pollen allergy symptoms.

First, you should avoid any outdoor activities in the morning between 5 up to 10 am. It is also best to avoid staying outside during the dry and breezy days. The ideal time to go outside is during the late afternoons or after a heavy rain. Still, it is best to go outside a little as possible. Next, after going outdoors, it is best to shower and change your clothes since the pollen tends to stick to the clothing, hair and skin. It is also advisable to wash your hair on a daily basis since pollen collects in your hair and can be easily transferred to your pillow. Next, do not forget about your pet. Take note that your pet can transport pollen into your home, so frequent bathing for your pet is a must in order to control the pollen inside the house. You can also utilize the HEPA air purifiers to remove any microscopic pollen particles from the air inside your home. It is also advisable to close up all windows and use air conditioning during the pollen season. If you are going outdoors, it is best to wear high quality protective masks. Lastly, you should vacuum on a regular basis with the use of a filtered HEPA vacuum cleaner since it effectively removes the airborne allergens.

You should take note of the following steps in order to avoid triggering your pollen allergy. Take note that transferring is not the answer, by following these simple steps; it will help provide relief to your pollen allergy.

If you want to have a glimpse of the artwork housed in Huntington library California, the “Blue Boy” is one of the famous art pieces that were created by Thomas Gainsborough. It is oil on canvas in Rococo Style. It is a portrayal of Master Jonathan Buttal, the son of a friend of Gainsborough who is a hardware merchant. The young boy in blue stately apparel carries a demeanor of self confidence. He looks straight at his viewers with an air of self confident brazenness and has a pompous posture with a slight clue of boyish purity.  The artist skillfully depicts all the intricate details of his clothes, cuffs, collar and trousers. If you will look closely, there is an almost flawless reproduction of the fabric flow. He wears stockings on his feet and his shoes are adorned with satin bows that provide an air of a gentleman of fine stature. As for the facial features, there is a soft tonal quality and a haunting reproduction of his eyes. His hair is depicted with a soft and baby like texture, which draws attention to his youthfulness. This painting clearly portrays a graceful, cheerful and light appearance. There is harmony in the description of the young boy, who is set against a haunting background of greenery and vast gray skies. It shows grace, elegance and decorum, the very essence of charm.

Oil on canvas painting, the “View on the Stour near Dedham” which was created by John Constable in 1822 clearly shows a male dominated scene. It is a late realist art piece. In the painting, some of the men are engaged in the daily activity of fishing while a lady looks on from afar while standing all alone on a bridge. The creator of this painting is very skillful in capturing the beauty of nature as well as the details of the landscapes. The characteristic of Constable’s style shows a facet of harmony of all the elements such as the water, earth and the sky. He is exceptional with the use of color, blending, tones, lighting and shadows. He skillfully contrasts the greenness of the trees with the shrubbery together with the white and blue cloudy skies. The characters seem frozen in time and lack the photo realism of some works in contemporary era.

The “Young Knitter Asleep”, oil on canvas by Jean Baptiste Greuze was completed back in 1755.  In this painting, it portrays a young lady who falls asleep while in the process of knitting a straw basket that is draped over her arm while the fabric is placed on her lap. The young lady shows a peaceful, serene and satisfied look of slumber. Her rose-colored cheeks with miniature yet well defined hands and baby like characteristics have the distinct quality of realness. The creator truly captured the folds and fall of the fabric. The young lady has an almost youthful appearance that is accompanied by innocence and child-like contentment. She bears a white cap with a blue ribbon together with a blue colored frock with banded collar. The attention of viewers is effectively drawn towards the young lady by means of a rather gloomy backdrop which diverts our attention to her. The skill of the artist to recreate fabric, its vivid color and shimmering appearance is expertly done.

Il risveglio della campagna (Alagna, Lomellina, Provincia di Pavia)


Image by Sisto Nikon (Francesco Sisti)
Il vento disegna con abili tratti il cielo di Marzo: pennellate di nuvole viaggianti, solchi di azzurro, celeste e grigio…sotto, la campagna è ormai pronta ed attende, con fedeltà, di poter di nuovo esser madre dei frutti del lavoro dell’uomo, in un infinito ciclo che si ripete nella vastità della campagna Lomellina.
