Pollen drive students at ULM crazy
It’s on the sidewalks. It’s on cars, and its called pollen. This is the time of the year allergies are at its worst.
A layer of green dust causes headaches for students and faculty around the campus.
Naomi Blanson, a senior social work major, said that the pollen gets to her.
“This is the time of year were I have frequent headaches out of no where and a runny nose,” said Blanson.
The green dust that’s everywhere is pollen.
Pollen is defined as a fine-to-coarse powder containing the microgametophytes of seed plants.
If inhaled, it causes the human health to decline.
S ympt oms such as headaches and soar throats, happen after the pollen irritates the sinuses.
“I’m going to be glad when this green stuff goes away, so I can wash my car and also don’t have to worry about being sick,” said Blanson.
