Pollen and Hay Fever in Toledo, OH

Pollen allergies, often referred to as hay fever, are a common concern for the residents of Toledo, Ohio. This condition is typically characterized by symptoms such as sneezing, a runny or stuffy nose, itchy or watery eyes, and an itchy throat or ears.

In Toledo, there are three main types of pollen that can trigger allergies: tree pollen, grass pollen, and weed pollen. Each of these has its own 'peak' season, during which the pollen count tends to be particularly high.

Tree pollen is most prevalent in the spring, with oak, maple, and birch being some of the most common culprits. These trees release small, light, dry pollen grains that can be carried by the wind for miles, making it easy for them to find their way into homes and noses.

Grass pollen follows close behind, with its peak season typically occurring in late spring and early summer. Common types of grasses that produce allergy-triggering pollen in Toledo include timothy, Kentucky bluegrass, and ryegrass.

Finally, weed pollen tends to be most problematic in the late summer and fall. The biggest offender is typically ragweed, a plant that thrives in the climate of Ohio and can produce up to a billion pollen grains per plant in a single day. Other weeds such as pigweed and lamb’s quarters also contribute to the pollen count.

Understanding the types of pollen and their seasons can help those with pollen allergies anticipate and prepare for the times of year when their symptoms may be most severe. Please note that this general guide may not account for yearly variations in weather, which can affect pollen levels and seasons.

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.
