This weekend and next week, the heat will be marked on the south-eastern quarter of the country with peaks between 36 and 38 ° C. These high temperatures will boost the proliferation of ragweed pollen, a few grains of which are enough to cause symptoms in allergy sufferers. If you currently have a runny nose or itchy eyes, you are probably allergic to these pollens. The concentrations are currently at a moderate level and will increase in the coming weeks, indicates the RNSA (National Aerobiological Surveillance Network). The risk of allergy will be average this week in the Rhône and in other departments including Drôme, Isère, Ardèche, Saône et Loire…
Acting against the expansion of ragweed is a major public health issue and it is always possible to report ragweed before the seed of the plant to limit its expansion, on the site www.signalement-ambroisie.fr.
If there are only a few plants, and it’s on public land, you can pull them out, but wearing a mask and gloves is highly recommended to be able to do this safely.
