Pollen and Hay Fever in Miami, FL

In Miami, Florida, the subtropical climate and unique ecosystem harbor a multitude of plant species, many of which release pollen—an unseen but pervasive contributor to allergies and hay fever. Pollen allergies, often referred to as hay fever or by its medical term, seasonal allergic rhinitis, occur when the immune system overreacts to airborne pollen particles. This condition is especially prevalent during specific periods of the year, prompting what we recognize as pollen seasons.

In Miami, the primary pollen seasons encompass the spring and fall. It's essential to recognize that different types of plants release their pollen at varying times of the year, contributing to the diversity of pollen particles in the air during these seasons.

Springtime, roughly from February to April, is marked primarily by tree pollen. Oak, pine, and cedar are among the main culprits. These trees release substantial amounts of pollen, creating a difficult period for those allergic to tree pollen.

As we transition into the fall season, from August to November, grass and weed pollen become predominant. Bermuda grass, Timothy grass, and ryegrass are common grasses found in Miami. Simultaneously, ragweed, a weed widely spread across the United States, peaks in the fall and becomes a major source of allergenic pollen.

Pollen from various other local and non-native plants such as Melaleuca and Brazilian Pepper also plays a role, as they tend to release pollen throughout the year, leading to year-round symptoms for some individuals.

Although Miami's mild winters often provide a respite from high pollen counts, certain species such as Australian pine might still release pollen during this period.

Understanding the types of pollen prevalent in Miami and their respective seasons can provide a better grasp of pollen allergies and hay fever. Despite the unique challenges the city's diverse plant life may present, it's important to remember that these same plants contribute to Miami's vibrant and colorful landscapes.

What is Wyndly?

Wyndly is the easiest and most convenient way to fix your allergies forever. As an online allergy practice, Wyndly offers at-home allergy testing and treatment. The main goal of Wyndly is to retrain the immune system to stop responding to allergens, providing lasting relief from allergies.

Here's how Wyndly works:

  1. Identify Allergy Triggers: The first step is to identify the allergy triggers. You can purchase an at-home allergy test from Wyndly, or if you have already done an allergy test elsewhere, you can share your existing test results. This allows the doctors at Wyndly to pinpoint which allergies need to be treated.
  2. Get Treated by a Real Doctor: Using medications that are similar to those used in allergy shots, a doctor creates a unique sublingual immunotherapy treatment plan to desensitize your immune system. This is done using FDA-approved sublingual tablets or clinically proven dosing for oral use.
  3. Live Better Without Symptoms: The prescriptions are shipped to your door, and the doctor works with you until you’re better. Wyndly offers regular online check-ins with US-licensed physicians and 24/7 availability for questions or concerns via text, email, or call.

The treatment plans are personalized based on your specific allergy triggers and aim to treat allergies at their source, rather than just relieving symptoms for a short period. Most people report improvement in as little as one month.

Wyndly Summer 2023 Pollen Report Methodology

For each city, Wyndly obtained monthly pollen PPMs (pollen grains per cubic meter) for each form (tree, grass, and weed) from February 2022 - May 2023. Data were obtained from Pollen Sense, LLC Automated Particulate Sensors (APS). These sensors automatically detect particulate matter collected from ambient air, and use a neural network algorithm to identify individual pollen species and calculate daily pollen counts.

Yearly averages are calculated by summing the three allergen averages per month of data for a total monthly PPM, summing all monthly total PPMs, then dividing by 12 (month count). Used for per-city average, state average, and total USA average. Season comparisons are done by summing the months of Spring (March, April, May) for 2023 and 2022. If the absolute of the (2023-2022)/2022 is ≤ 0.05, the years were about the same. Otherwise, the more PPM, the worse the season was.
