My doctor gave me penicillin for a week to get rid of laryngitis because she said I also had spots on my tonsils. Now I don't have spots, but my throat is still sore and tight and I still have dry coughing spells that even wake me up at night. I'm taking an antihistimine. Could it really just be allergies causing continued sore throat and swollen tonsils?
Is a sore throat a symptom of pollen allergies along with a dry, sporadic cough?
It could be seasonal allergies if you do have them. Sometimes, though, a week isn't long enough to kill some infections such as tonsillitis, you need 10-14 days. I would just watch your throat and take it easy over the long weekend and see how you feel come Tuesday. If you do get a fever or the spots return, call the ER or an emergency clinic and be seen. Tonsils can abscess if they aren't treated in a timely manner.
Reply:White puss on your tonsils is bacteria. Try a TB test next.
Reply:Go back to your doctor, it could be a development of tonsilitis or worse, but check it out either way and dont drink from anyone glass dont let anyone drink out of yours and dont swallow any salivia and stay away from sugary foods

How do i get rid of lilly pollen stains out of clothes?
Tell Lilly to wash 'em
How do i get rid of lilly pollen stains out of clothes?
In the future,if you get any of these stains,stick selotape on them and pull off the pollen.
Reply:Try soaking the items in a bucket of water to which you will add two or three scoops of Oxy Magic powder. Allow the items to soak overnight. Then wash. You can find Oxy Clean at any supermarket detergent isle.
Reply:vanish
Reply:I can suggest this , First when ever possible , lift most of the pollen dust with sellotape , then soak in cold water , remove from water and add salt, much about the same when you remove blood from clothes. It should lift out onto the salt

Is there a window screen out there that filters out not just pollen and dirt, but smoke too?
Hello, I have seen window screens on the market that are HEPA and therefore filter out things like dirt and pollen. My problem is that come wintertime, people all around my neighborhood burn wood to heat their homes, and I am very very asthmatic. If I keep the windows closed, my room eventually fills with smoke seeping in over time. If I open them, it's worse (but better when they shut the wood stoves off).
Is there a window screen that not only filters out pollen and dirt like HEPA, but also can filter out smoke and things of that nature?

If yellow spots are pollen, How is it they form on my car?
Following up an earlier question, What are the tiny little mustard yellow spots that cover my car? I live in Orange County, Ca
If yellow spots are pollen, How is it they form on my car?
Pollen is fine, like dust. It can be picked up by wind and cover your car. I live in the south and the springtime is always discouraging because as soon as I wash my car it is covered in pollen again!
Reply:the wind blows the pollen into the air,
the air hits your car,
therefore the pollen is on your car.

Why does wind pollinated plants produce more pollen?
Thus wind is highly inefficient to pollinate, natural selection benefited thous plants that generated abundant pollen over the others, raising the chances of pollen to reach another plant..
Why does wind pollinated plants produce more pollen?
Insect-pollinated plants have a big advantage versus wind-pollinated plants in that the insect carries the pollen right to the flower. With wind-pollinated plants the plant is basically casting the pollen up into the air and hoping by random chance that some will land on an appropriate flower.
Think of it this way, say you are a 50 yards from a basketball court, if you had a ball, and you wanted to make a basket, with insect-pollinated plants, the insect carries the ball close to the basket and throws up a shot. With wind pollination, you don't have anything but the wind to carry the ball, so you have to throw up thousands of shots before one, by random chance, fell into the hoop.
But there is a cost to insect pollinated plants. They have to expend a lot of energy to make the showy flowers that attract the insects. Flowers that produce wind dispersed pollen are typically small and don’t cost the plant anywhere near as much energy.

What is the best way to clean house if you have POLLEN allergy?
After vacuuming the floor, wipe down the walls with a damp microfiber cloth (if you have one), also the drapes, the couches, anything made of cloth, and the surfaces of tables, bookcase etc. The less chemicals you use, the better. I prefer a steam cleaner myself.

I am allergic to pollen. I recently switched from Coffee to Chai tea and have had very serious allergic?
reactions. Is it possible that the tea is causing it?
I am allergic to pollen. I recently switched from Coffee to Chai tea and have had very serious allergic?
Yes!!! There could be several reasons why you are reacting to the tea. Tea contains caffeine and tannin which are known allergens. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) found in the tea plant is also an allergen. Chai tea generally has spices added to it which you may be allergic to. The drying process of tea may also result in mold production.
Reply:I wouldn't think so. But, are you sweetening your tea with honey? Maybe you're having allergic reactions to the honey, since you have pollen allergies. I wouldn't think just the tea itself would, but I could be wrong.

How do plant breeders make sure only one type of pollen is used when their flowers are pollinated?
They most likely use a paintbrush to transfer pollen from one plant to another.
How do plant breeders make sure only one type of pollen is used when their flowers are pollinated?
They remove the stamens from the flower that is being cross-pollinated to prevent self-pollination. After applying the selected pollen, they cover the pollinated flower with a little sack to keep any other pollen from landing in the flower.

I want to know what medicine works best for pollen allergies ?
You can try Zyrtec since it is not an RX anymore. If that does not work...I would go to the doctor for an RX for a nasal corticosteroids (Beconase AQ, Rhinocort Aqua, Nasalide, Nasarel, Flonase, Nasonex, Nasacort AQ) those are what you get to choose from for a nasal corticosteroid.
Reply:The best thing you can do is to see an allergist. The doctor can figure out exactly what you are allergic to, and prescribe the best treatment.
There are prescription medications that are much more effective than over-the-counter meds.
Be well.

When is the best time to go out side when both you and your children have fall allergies to ragweed pollen?

In the morning. The air is clearer from the cold evening, keeping pollen closer to the ground and also smog is lower.
Also, try boosting your immunity by getting local honey. It is made from pollen from local plants and by eating it, will help you and your children avoid allergies.

When should I put a bag over my corn tassels to catch the pollen and then put the bag over the silks?
I'm not really sure what you are planning on doing since this would occur naturally without any help. However to answer your question, when the pollen is ready, it comes off the tassels looking like a powder or dust. When that happens would be the time to collect the pollen.

Did find a few but can't figure out how to use them or how they work. But there is a "contact" in the upper right corner. I'd send them an email requesting help and a botanist or the equivalent would help you really quickly. Need to update because there was a couple more here and need to figure out how to use them and reupdate this here.
This next one describes pollen grains and if you click on the blue diagram word there is a fascinating printout of how the chart will look. Not a database however like I think the first one is once I figure out how to use the thing here.
Went to a third website and it appears you must identify the plant species FIRST before collecting the pollen. You can't extract pollen samples and later on match it to a plant. Once you have decided on your plant species you go out and collect them and make a chart like at the second link.
Last link, you can go with maple for yellow pollen, any kind: silver maple, etc. Then jewelweed (just click on the blue word jewelweed) if it grows over there is yellowish-white. Apple is also yellowish-white. Do not see just plain white here.
Reply:Thank you. You will need a microscope too and some plants don't flower in Spring and some do. You can look at your slide and count pollen grains to see how concentrated it is, going above and beyond call of duty. Use same magnification and multiply. Report It
Reply:Also make sure to take samples from many flowers per plant. See, the pollen is from stamens, not carpels. Most these types plants have both so collect specimens fro seven of them to be sure, stuff can be almost invisible. Report It

Why do wind-pollinated plants produce much more pollen than insect-pollinated plants?
The wind does not deliver pollen directly to any particular plant. Polinating insects are encouraged to visit the next flower. The wind deposits pollen everywhere at once. Wind polinated plants therefore have a much greater area to cover, and produce more pollen.
Why do wind-pollinated plants produce much more pollen than insect-pollinated plants?
That's an interesting question. If I had to guess I'd say that the wind is more reliable as it is around for longer periods of time. Not only that but it also would carry pollen farther due to a constant force where as insects are slow stop and start implements for pollen transfer.
Reply:Think about it. Insects seek out things, the wind doesn't. So, how do you increase the odds of pollinating other flowers if you don't have anything guiding you there automatically?

Would a humming bird and flower (that contains pollen) be an example of symbiosis?
I would call this mutualism because the flower benefits from being pollinated and the bird benefits by getting food. I cannot imagine why the book doesn't consider this to be symbiosis. Does it mention flowers and bees as a symbiotic relationship? It's the same thing.
Reply:I think symbiosis is a closer relationship. Like an Algae and a fungus in Lichen.

Reply:well you should name it tinkerbell if its a girl.
Reply:I would call him honey
Reply:i think that pollen is cute. i think you should wait a few more days to name him/her until you really know 4 sure wat u want to namee it.
Reply:Pollen, b/c its both better and it's possibly golden correct?

What kinds of plants produce pollen?
i need some examples.
and i was wondering..does a dandelion produce pollen?
What kinds of plants produce pollen?
All seed plants produce pollen - the gymnosperms (including conifers and others) and the angiosperms (the flowering plants). Yes, a dandelion produces pollen.
Other examples of plants that make pollen:
maple trees
pine trees
corn
grasses
roses
ragweed
soybeans
irises
clover
Almost every plant you will ever see produces pollen.
What doesn't make pollen: mosses, ferns, liverworts, horsetails, club mosses.
Reply:the male flowers or the male part of the flower produce pollen...so i guess the male part of dandelions produce pollens...
*sorry dont know coz no dandelions in my country...never seen one*

What are the best outdoor plants for someone w/severe allergies to pollen?
I am also someone with a lot of pollen allergies. For our backyard we went with a Japanese zen garden look. We used a lot of grasses, stones and small succulents like jade plants.
This supplies a variety of colours and textures without the pollens.
Hope it helps.

silk or plastic dependin on what tickles your pickle
Reply:Yep, foliage plants ( not holly) . Flowering plants with heavy, sticky pollen , such as (cultivated varietes) Goldenrod (Solidago sp ) , that don't become airborne, will work also.
^ ps: Grasses put out lots of pollen , so not a good choice .
Reply:Hmmm, I would suggest....plastic?
Maybe corn plants, [like the potted ones at garden centers], ferns, snow on the mountain, some types of hardwood trees, conifers? I agree, stay away from the grasses if possible.
Reply:anything that doesn't bloom%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;no pollen
larger leaves will catch less pollen and can be rinsed off to keep pollen out of the area.
do a search for non-blooming landscape plants for your area.
there are a lot that have colorful foliage and silver foliage so you don't get bored with green.

Where do pollen tubes grow and why do fifferent species need different sucrose solutions?
why do different species need different conditions to grow?
why do pollen tubes grow and where do they grow to?
Where do pollen tubes grow and why do fifferent species need different sucrose solutions?
The pollen tube acts as a conduit to transport sperm cells from the pollen grain, which has landed on the stigma, to the ovules at the base of the pistil.
The pollen tube germinates from the pollen grain and grows the entire length through the stigma, style and ovules to reach the eggs.
In maize, this single cell can grow longer than 12 inches to traverse the length of the pistil.
The sperm cells by themselves are not motile and are carried within the tube. As the tip of the tube reaches an egg it bursts and releases two sperm cells leading to a double fertilization.
One sperm unites with the ovum (egg) to produce the embryo of a new plant while the second sperm unites with the central cell to produce the endosperm of the seed.
The endosperm is composed of starch, proteins and oils and is a major source of food (wheat, barley, rye, oats, corn)
Lipids at the surface of the stigma stimulate pollen tube growth for compatible pollen.
Plants that are self sterile inhibit the pollen grains from their own flowers from growing pollen tubes.
The presence of multiple grains of pollen has been observed to stimulate quicker pollen tube growth in some plants.
The number of pollen grains needed for pollination/syngamy is equivalent to the number of ovules.
One can look at a cut watermelon to identify the mature seeds that resulted from syngamy, and the white, undeveloped seeds that resulted from a failure of syngamy.
The proportion of mature seeds to undeveloped ones is proportional to the quality of the fruit, which can then be tested by taste.
The trace mineral boron is vital to pollen tube growth. While too much boron is toxic, a complete lack of boron in the soil can cause a crop failure.
Ferns, algae, and other lower order plants (including Ginkgo Biloba and cycads, oddly enough) do not have thier pollen directly deposited to the egg through pollen tubes: they have flagellate sperm, which swim through a watery fluid to pollenate the egg cells.

Reply:I don't know about the sucrose solutions, but pollen tubes grow through the stigma of the female parts on the flower (in angiosperms). The pollen grain lands on top of the carpel (the top is the stigma), and the pollen tube grows down through the style. At the bottom of the ovary/ovule is the egg; the pollen tube grows down to the egg. The sperm is within the pollen tube, so basically, the tube leads the sperm to the egg so fertilization can occur.

How do you get lily pollen out of a carpet?
wrap sticky tape around your hand sticky side up. then gently tap over it . It may take a few attempts but it will work. I always cut the stamens out as soon as they appear with a nail scissors saves future problems

What sort of carpet is it and I take it you have tried the vacumm. If the carpet is pretty robust once you have vacummed the pollen and got most of it up, (use the nozzle a little away from the carpet). Once you have done this, dilute washing up liquid and gently rub the area of carpet effected, Rinse with clear water several times, soak up surplus water and with a dry soft cloth using a circular motion rub area until almost dry. Cover the area with a dry towel so no one walks on it for a day or two.
It ought to do the trick, but repeat a second time if necessary.

Zirtek, Piriton, Telfast. Although anti-histamines are not specific to a particular pollen. Over time they seem to lose their effectiveness, so it sometimes helps to switch to a different one.

How can i get the pollen from Lillie's out of my carpet?
i know i should have lifted it with a hoover but silly me wiped it and now it is all smudged. i ahve used vanish carpet and upholstery cleaner but its still there
How can i get the pollen from Lillie's out of my carpet?
Pollen stains are the equivalent to dye stains. It is always best to clip the 'anthers" and remove the potential for dye stains from fresh flowers. When dealing with pollen stains on fabric, it will require a solvent cleaner like denatured alcohol or dry cleaning fluid %26amp; white rag, blotting from outside the stain toward the middle. .
Reply:u dont
Reply:Yes with Sellotape, you can lift the pollen of, if there is any stain left ,then cold water and salt, as you would do with a blood stain
Reply:Not sure by what you mean by get the pollen from your carpet so I will have to think you mean dirt or potting soil you want to remove from your carpet, here's the solution to your problem, Spills on the rug
When spills happen, go to the bathroom and grab a can of shaving cream. Squirt It on the spot then rinse off with water.
Carpet Shampoo Recipe
1/2 cup Liquid Tide
1/4 cup Clorox-2
1/4 cup Vinegar (WHITE) (if you have a bad odor use 1/2 cup)
Add this to 1 - gallon of hot water in machine. If you need to pre-treat some areas you can mix this in a spray bottle and spray the area before you start.
I also use CHEAP shaving cream for pre-treating stains. Just spray the foam on the stain and tap it in the carpet with an old toothbrush. Then let the shaving cream dry. I usually do this the night before since I have to rent a machine. That way I can just shampoo and get the machine back in a timely manner.
To clean stains on a carpet: mix equal parts of vinegar, lemon juice and salt.
Good Luck !
Reply:don't wipe it, when it gets on to your carpet put a piece of sellotape over the patch and lift it off before it gets trodden in.well thats what iv been told

How do I clean lint/pollen off a canvas convertible top?
I've tried lint rolling, using a plastic "feather" duster, hitting the canvas really hard (like de-dusting a rug). And using a lint-free cloth (i.e. my jacket) to try and de-root the stuff. I haven't tried a hard bristle brush yet; any other ideas will help. Thanks.

they make a feather duster for that is for cars it is about 2 feet long and 6 inches wide. but i have always liked the vacuum to clean it up.

Is a corn pollen allergy the same as a corn allergy?
A corn pollen allergy is triggered off by inhaling air-borne particles. Where as a corn allergy is only triggered by ingesting it. It is very likely that someone who suffers the pollen allergy, they are OK to eat it. The pollen that creates the flower is a different chemical composition to that of the resulting fruit of the plant.
Reply:It's possible you may also be allergic to corn itself if you are allergic to corn pollen.

Pollen be grown on an agar medium to produce haploid plants!!?
This is called "pollen culture", and it is used to produce haploid plantlets. If you search Google for "pollen culture", you will find a lot of information. The medium is agar, and you will need plant hormones. Here is one recipe, there are more in the sources links:
Chu's N6 medium (available from Sigma-Aldrich) supplemented with NAA, a synthetic auxin (2-4 mg/1), kinetin (0.3 mg/1), casein hydrolysate (1 g/1), and 5% sucrose at pH 5.7

What influences pollen count?
And don't give me the definition (i.e. the average number of pollen grains per unit of volume over a day in a certain place). For example, does the weather affect the count? I ask that because the South seems to have a lower pollen count in general than the North.
What influences pollen count?
Well, there'd be how many pollen-creating plants there are.
Wind --the windier the more pollen flying around.
What the weather was like that winter and spring (because it would effect how much pollen was created by the local plant-life).
Reply:I think that the more humid an area is, the less likely it is that pollen grains will float around in the air. The moisture in the air, wets the pollen grain and takes it to the ground so that it does not float on air currents.

How can I stop a pollen chain saw from flooding?
this saw will run for a short time then it will start flooding
How can I stop a pollen chain saw from flooding?
Throw it in the ditch and go buy a Stihl.
Reply:Flooding is due to too much fuel, and/or not enough air.
Here are some thoughts:
Have you checked the air filter - it could be blocked with dust.
I assume you have turned off the choke - that's only needed to start it with an extra-rich fuel mixture.
Is your spark plug fouled with carbon? Remove it and clean or replace it.
Have you recently had a tune-up to make sure the mixture and idle adjustments are correct?
Are you using the proper oil:gas mixture?
That's all I can think of.

Some beekeepers relish the "royal Jelly" found in the hives. I like to purchase honey "in the frame" from local beekeepers..Eating honey from your local area is supposed to increase your immunity to allergies. Honey that is in the frame or comb, hasn't been touched by anyone but the bees.
Reply:My mom used to see this "herbologist". She forced us to take bee pollen for an immune system booster. As far as I know, thats what its good for.

How Do I tell if i am allergic to pollen or ragweed?
ever since friday i have been caughing, runny noes, my ears are stuffy and i have an itchy throat it has happened for a few years now and it is at this time every year but i dont want allergy testing. It lasts about a week and then goes away and comes back the following year!!!
How Do I tell if i am allergic to pollen or ragweed?
It is a very good bet you are allergic to pollen. The spring is grass and tree season. Ragweed is Aug-Sept. at its peak. If your symptoms correlate with going out of doors, are worse in windy weather and also if your are out in the early hours of the morning you can pretty much book it. If you don't want to confirm it with skin testing treat it empirically as an allergy with otc antihistamines. Go to prescription steroid nasal sprays if that doesn't work. One week out of the year is not so bad.
Are you sure it is not a cold?!
Reply:If you don't want allergy testing then just take Claritan over the counter every day...

Is there a way to clean molds, spores, and pollen from the air in your home that is truly effective?
HEPA filters
If you have forced air HVAC system you can easily incorporate the filters into the system.
If not there are many home filtration devices for sale on the market.
With a minor amount of research from reputable sources you can make an informed decision on how best to spend your money. I'm fond of Consumer Reports and Web MD for starters. Consumer Reports use to offer a trial membership that can be canceled if you decide it's not something you really need.
Some of the studies on ionizers aren't as flattering as the manufacturers would like.

You may want to research a cool air humidifier as well. I had similar problems and a few years ago, 6 actually. I spent about $75.00 on a Hunter Care-freehumidifier. It still serves me well today. For the most part I no longer have nose-bleeds.
My Doctor also recommended using a Saline Nasal Spray. You may want to consult you Doctor about the nose bleeds.

You can buy electronic air cleaners that attach to your furnace or central air conditioner. They take everything out of the air with washable electrostatic air filters. They also have conventional and or HEPA filters. But such a system will run you a couple of grand.
There are also such stand alone systems.
Reply:HEPA filters are very big and is used for decontamination for bio safty. i dont think you will be getting those. If your really concerned, get a home air filter which is only about 12 inches by 20 inch or so. also clean your room and keep down the moisture.

How many pollen grains are produced by microspore mother cell?

How many pollen grains are produced by microspore mother cell?
if i recall, a microspore mother cell undergoes meiosis to produce microspores, which in turn germinate.. undergo a few rounds of mitosis, and then lay dormant as gametophytic tissue, otherwise known as the pollen grain.
because each microspore as the potential to form a pollen grain, and 4 cells result from all progenitor cells undergoing meiosis (b/c there are 2 cell cleavage events), my best guess would be 4 pollen grains are produced per mother cell, albeit i don't specialize in plants.

Why does pollen make your skin itch?
pollen should not make you itch unless you are allergic to it! see a doctor, maybe you have other allergies you don't know about,, could be why you sometimes have unexplained problems like watery eyes, itching, rashes, maybe even shortness of breath??
Why does pollen make your skin itch?
it's just your sking having an allergic reaction- the immune system over reacting and releasing histamines which cause itching, swelling, etc.
Reply:Skin oils mix with it and it enters the pours which one is allergic to.
Reply:Your skin(epidurmis) is a living breathing organ. Some people ar more sensitive than others to pollen, just has some people have asthma and others do not.

How do I get rid of lily pollen stain on my cream leather chair and another bit off my grey lino kitchen tiles
If the pollen is still dry use sellotape to lift the dye off the surfaces.
If you have wet the areas then you have a much more difficult problem. On the leather you will have dyed the leather and the stain may not be removeable. The only product likely to remove it without doing damage is LTT Maxi Cleaner which is the only product designed for this problem. If this will not remove it then solvents will need to be used which will damage the finish and pigment so is best left to a technician who will also be able to recolour it if all else fails.
Please do not use baby wipes they are the worst thing to clean leather with as they destroy the finish on your leather. They are designed to neutralise acid in urine so are a very strong alkiline product. Our technicians are constantly called out to repair this sort of damage.

Question for UK only.Does anyone know if the pollen count was high the weekend just gone?
Only my hay fever was dreadfull and where as the pollen count used to be announced after the weather report onTV that does'nt seem to happen any more. Something to do with cost and funding I expect.

I need some cost effective ideas to make low water usage, low pollen level back yard in a rental house.?
I lease where I live and currently have dead grass yard and huge tall fence border trees that cannot be removed. I want a lovely easy care backyard. Planning on laying some of the 12x12 concrete tiles down for a patio, in lieu of 1/2 of the lawn. I cannot afford to cover the whole yard in pavers (it is 16 x 65') What else can I do that is cheap and nice, without planting more plants? Cant run wiring or water.
I need some cost effective ideas to make low water usage, low pollen level back yard in a rental house.?
will the owner of the house ok this? if so put down plastic sheeting or the fabric that goes under mulch and then go look at colorful gravel choices and have that put about 2 inches deep all over the area, its what we do here in las vegas. then you can plant some cactus if you like or just leave it with no plantings, however the neighbors pollen will still get to you. its not all that cheap but it looks nice when finished. you can even put up plastic lawn edging and use a pattern like a wave or something and put down two distinct patterns of gravel. you could add some fake plants if you like for a little color.
Reply:what more would you like to know, you can also carpet it with artificial grass, but thats not my idea of cool , usually cheap does not equate to nice, but i do wish you the best of luck Report It
Reply:Planting in pots is a good idea when renting- You could plant out any original container-like apair of preloved boots no longer used, can be painted(try metallic paint like cooper or silver for good effect) then use succulents like calanchloe to pot in. I got great reward from wine barrels with veges in. Things like rainbow chard have great coloured foliage, look great and you can eat them too.No troubles with pollen there. Have fun!

Does anyone know when the pollen season is over?
I'm enjoy and I cycle every day but I have an allergy to pollern (hayfever) it is particular discomfort is the mornings and evenings when the pollen levels are high. Any suggestions what to do and does anyone know when the pollen levels will start decreasing.
*I can't cycle during the day because I have work
Does anyone know when the pollen season is over?
My hay fever is crazy but to be honest, the pollen count should have dropped off by now, so if you're still being affected now it's gonna be because of pollutants. Are you taking antihistamines? Do you wash your face and hair when you come in from the outside?
I cycle too and wear sunglasses. Also, you could get one of those masks - cyclists here wear them all the time.
And why don't you cycle to work?
Reply:I have hay fever and what i found is before the season gets under way get some honey from a local farm shop or store, my nurse suggested this and i tried it this year, you have a teaspoon of honey everyday and because it contain all the pollen from the surrounding area it helps build up a Resistance, my nurse also told me to drink a pro-biotic drink as some studies have shown that they help with allergies especially hay fever, so this summer i got the honey and a pre and pro-biotic drink called vitality and had one a day, my hay fever has been less severe this year and for the first time in years i enjoyed going out to parks and farms with the kids, i don't know if anyone else has tried this but it has worked for my and i have managed to cut down on the antihistamines that i took. hope this helps you good luck for the rest of the sneezing season.
Reply:It really depends on what type of pollen you are allergic to! I suffer in the spring when the Birch trees are chucking out pollen. It sounds as if you are allergic to grass pollen and many grasses are ripening now. The only way to find out is to have an allergy test to see which type of pollen is causing your symptoms. As a defence mechanism you could try taking antihistamines which suppress the immune response to anything! Your pharmacist will advise.
Reply:If you want to keep cycling during pollen season, get one of those masks. They will keep all of the pollen out of your breathing area. I do not know if you are in the United States, but if you are, I am including a link to a map that you can use to get your pollen count forcast. It is very reliable. If you are not in the U.S., try doing a search for pollen map. I will also send a link to a mask that cyclists wear for protection from dust, dirt, and bugs. At 10 microns, it will keep out pollen. Maybe they sell them at your local bike shop.
Reply:I also have seasonal allergies so I feel your pain. My doctor has prescribed both Allegra and Singulair for my allerigies and they both work well. I dont know where you are, but pollen season ends when there is a good hard frost. Im in the US midwest and generally that is sometime early in October.

I read that if you plant female trees,they attract pollen..How are males and females different?
It's actually the flowers that show up the male or female-ness of the tree/plant - male flowers have a stamen, and female flowers have pistils - the stamen is the one central piece of the flower, the pistils are the long pieces inside the petals :) See here for some good drawings in explanation -
I read that if you plant female trees,they attract pollen..How are males and females different?
Yes male and female trees are different. During the pollen season they go to the female trees to germinate {this can smell really bad depending on what kind of tree you have}.
Reply:male trees tend to hang around pubs in groups of 2 or more, whistling to all the female trees in a drunken stupour!
Reply:The male trees are usually messier and leave wet spots.

Remove pollen stain from shirt?
"Should pollen brush upon clothing, it can stain if not treated correctly. Resist the temptation to mearly brush it off with your hands, for the natural oil on your hands will spread, and set the color. Simply use a medium stiff hairbrush, and if the pollen grains have not been smeared, you can safely knock them off. If noticed too late, use a washday pre-treatment before laundering, and hang the freshly washed clothing in bright sun for several hours, which usually bleaches any remaining color."

Pollen grains consist of two cells: What is the difference between the generative cell and the tube cell?
I'm having trouble answering this question could you help me please? thanks
Pollen grains consist of two cells: What is the difference between the generative cell and the tube cell?
The generative cell has the nucleus which will divide to make the two sperm nuclei. One sperm nucleus will join with the egg nucleus to make the zygote and eventually the embryo. The other sperm nucleus will join with the two polar nuclei to make the endosperm.
The tube cell is a larger cell in the pollen, and this cell contains the tube nucleus. The tube nucleus directs the growth of the pollen tube from the stigma where the pollen landed, down through the style to the ovule inside the ovary of the pistil.
There are more detailed explanations on sites like the one listed below if you need more information.

How bad will the pollen levels get this spring into summer for people with asthma and allergies?
I have asthma, allegies, and sinus problems but I want to have a nice spring and summer what can I do because my last have been a nightmare. What do I have to take to better deal with the situation at hand.
How bad will the pollen levels get this spring into summer for people with asthma and allergies?
To answer the first part, you can find out what your local pollen forcast is by going to www.pollen.com and entering in your zipcode. You can also sign up so they will send you notices when it will be bad in your area.
As to the next part regarding what to do about them, I take a quote directly from www.pollen.com:
"Treatment Options and Medication
While there is still no cure for allergies, there are ways that you can diminish your symptoms. There are three types of treatments that can be used in combination:
* AVOIDANCE of the allergen,
* MEDICATION, and
* IMMUNOTHERAPY (generally called allergy shots).
Avoidance of airborne allergens all of the time is virtually impossible. Pollen, for example, is present anywhere you go. Moving to another area to avoid your allergies will probably not resolve the problem. However, studies do indicate that allergen avoidance is essential to effective treatment of asthma and allergies.
What you need to do is to know when your allergen will be at its peak and avoid going out during those times. Remember, you can visit Pollen.com or sign up for our Allergy Alert™ e-mail, which will inform you about the allergy conditions in your area for the next four days! This is a private e-mail that will be sent to you on days when conditions in your area reach a trigger point, and you may want to consider using your medication to alleviate your condition.
You can also use allergy devices in your home, such as an air cleaner and air conditioner. These will help you remove pollen and mold spores from the air. It's important to keep the filters on these devices clean!
Immunotherapy (Allergy Shots) is a series of shots that can expose you to small quantities of allergens to stimulate your immune system. The purpose of those shots is to build up your antibodies, your defense cells. This increase in the number of antibodies will help your body not overreact when exposed again to these same allergens."
There is much more information on the website that should be able to help you out.

How bad will the pollen levels get this spring into summer for people with asthma and allergies?
To answer the first part, you can find out what your local pollen forcast is by going to www.pollen.com and entering in your zipcode. You can also sign up so they will send you notices when it will be bad in your area.
As to the next part regarding what to do about them, I take a quote directly from www.pollen.com:
"Treatment Options and Medication
While there is still no cure for allergies, there are ways that you can diminish your symptoms. There are three types of treatments that can be used in combination:
* AVOIDANCE of the allergen,
* MEDICATION, and
* IMMUNOTHERAPY (generally called allergy shots).
Avoidance of airborne allergens all of the time is virtually impossible. Pollen, for example, is present anywhere you go. Moving to another area to avoid your allergies will probably not resolve the problem. However, studies do indicate that allergen avoidance is essential to effective treatment of asthma and allergies.
What you need to do is to know when your allergen will be at its peak and avoid going out during those times.

What can i do to ease my awful pollen and allergy symptoms?
i hate this..every beautiful spring day my nose is stuffy and runny and my head so congested what are some good remedys?
What can i do to ease my awful pollen and allergy symptoms?
STEAMING of simple water or with idione and benzine.
also take the non-sedating drug of choice which is SENERGY OD 10mg or any other LORADINE containing drug. it wont get you drowsy and remain away from pollen, dont smell flowers. and keep away from ppl who have colds that also triggers yr body's immunity in a wrong way....
Reply:Go to your local farmers market and get honey that's is from the area that you live. You can use the honey as a sweetener and it will help you build immunities to the pollen allergens.
Reply:Best remedy...stay indoors in an air conditioned environment.
Reply:Start using Nasal Crom (cromolyn sodium) 4 times daily about 3 weeks before your allergy symptoms usually begin and this will often reduce allergy levels.
Since you are already congested, try a decongestant along with an antihistamine. Also long hot showers will help unplug your nose.
Reply:Seasonal Allergies,,,, gotta luv'em LOL.. I never had allergies until we moved to South Texas, every year they get worse. Doc says it's because we don't have winter to kill out the pollens, so we have pollen all year round. Lately I've been taking Allegra, the Allegra D is what clears up the congestion. See your Dr. or ask the Pharmacist at your local store. GOOD LUCK! I know how miserable it can be...
Reply:claratin works wonders. feel better!
Reply:I have awful allergies. Have my whole life. I use 24hr. Claratin and Nasonex(nose spray). They work great together with no side effects. You can go to an allergist, find out exactly what your allergic to and avoid that stuff or get started on allergy shot.
Reply:I have had the same problem, hay fever, upper respiratory allergies, etc. Try CVS pharmacy non-drowsy Allergy Relief (Loratadine 10mg) anthihistamine 24 hr allergy relief. You only take 1 tab in 24 hours similiar to Claritin. If you cut grass or if outside when pollen is high, wear a mask. Flonase nasal spray works wonders in a very short time for a stuffy nose. Ask your doctor for a sample. Hope you find something so you can enjoy Spring!
Reply:over the pollen time cut out all grass based products such as milk, wheat, dairy and also dont the meat of cattle who graze on grass, cow.

Can bee pollen substitue for a multi-vitamin?
I've read that bee pollen has all the nutrients needed in a day. Can bee pollen tablets take the place of a daily multi-vitamin or is it better to take both?
Can bee pollen substitue for a multi-vitamin?
NO please be super careful trying that product. I know it sounds really great, but a lot of people are allergic to pollen. And even bee's for that matter. Best to check it by your doctor. Trust me; I’ve messed up trying new things and even herbs. (which my dad has been into for years)
Good luck, please be careful.
Reply:yes yes yes.. Did you know that honey is the only thing in the world that will not spoil?

Where can I find Santa Rosa plum pollen?
Do nursery's sell it in the Spring? Mail order?
Where can I find Santa Rosa plum pollen?
Never heard of buying plant pollen of any kind. What's it for??? You can get bee pollen at health food stores. If you're looking to polinate a plum tree, as with most fruit trees, you need two trees that will cross polinate to produce fruit.

If you live on the 10th floor, can you leave your window open without worry of pollen entering?
I live on the 10th floor in Boston and my Cental A/C doesn't come on until April 15th. But I've read that the pollen count has or is about to increase. I don't want to let any in and it does get windy sometimes. But am I shielded from that worry being on the 10th floor?
If you live on the 10th floor, can you leave your window open without worry of pollen entering?
NO. Pollen will go where the wind goes, so if you have a windy day and the pollen count is up it will blow into your place.

Why do flowers have different size and shape pollen grains?
What makes pollen grains special?
Why do flowers have different size and shape pollen grains?
Abstract
Pollen morphology is closely related to its function. Many of the features present in pollen grains have helped the species of plants to which it belongs to adapt to life on land, be able to disperse its pollen, and fertilize the female eggs to produce new seeds that would give rise to new plants. I have collected four samples of pollen from angiosperms and studied their detailed morphology. This paper studies the correlations between the structure and function of pollen grains of those four species angiosperms.
Pollen grains are structures that house the male gametophyte generation of angiosperms and gymnosperms (seed plants). They are also the vehicles in which the male gamete genetic code is carried to the female gamete. Pollen grains develop in the anther in angiosperms. It travels and is deposited on the stigma of a receptive flower. In gymnosperms, pollen develops in the male cone, travels, and fertilizes the ovules in the female cones to produce seeds. Each pollen grain consists of the two celled male haploid plant enclosed in a thickened wall.
The casing that houses the male gametophyte has a very complex structure that is reflective of that specific species' functional adaptations. The exine is the outer layer of a living pollen grain. It is composed of sporopollenin, with small quantities of polysaccharides. Sporopollenin is very chemically stable1 and it is resistant to to almost all kinds of environmental damage. It is equipped with apertures. It it divided into two sub layers: the outermost sexine and the unsculptured underlying nexine. The sexine has surfaces that are sculptured in elaborate ways, with reticulately arranged perforations. These give the exine and amorphous or granular appearance. The inner layer of a living pollen grain is called the intine. It is composed of cellulose and is very similar in construction to ordinary plant cell walls. A layer called the endexine separates the sexine and intine. The endexine has a laminated appearance.
Pollen grains are generally classified according to their physical appearance. There are three criteria of classification: 1) the number and position of the apertures; 2) the shape of the pollen grain as a whole; and 3) the fine elaborate structure on the sexine. Apertures are any missing parts of the exine, which are independent of the exine pattern. Apertures are big and they cut across the fine structure pattern on the surface of the pollen grain. There are two types of apertures: pori or pores are mostly isodiametric apertures, although the can be slightly elongated with rounded ends; colpi or furrows are long and boat shaped with pointed ends. Colpi are thought to be more primitive. In living pollen grains these apertures are not actually open. Instead, a very thin layer of exine covers them. Grains with pori are called porate; those with culpi are called culpate; and those with both pori and culpi are called colporate. If their apertures are arranged equidistantly around the equator of the pollen grains they are assigned the prefix zono-; if they are scattered all over the surface of the pollen grain they are assigned the prefix panto-. The number of apertures is also indicated by prefixes: mono- for one aperture; di- for two apertures; tri- for three apertures; and so on.
The shape of a pollen grain refers to the shape of their outline in polar and equatorial views. The shape of a grain can sometimes be useful in identifying of pollen species, but not usually. I may vary considerably within one grain type, and sometimes within one species.
The sculpture refers to the fine structure and pattern of the sexine. It is composed of small radially directed rods. If these rods support something (such as a plate or a small knob) they are called columnellae; if they do not support anything they are called bacula. The shape of the rods can further classify them. If they are club shaped they are called clavae; if they are sharply pointed they are called echinae; if they have swollen heads they are called pila; and if they are short and globular they are called gemmae. There are many more classifications for the shape of rods on the surface of the sexine, but these four are the most common
Reply:Flower Structure
The flower is the reproductive structure for flowering plants (angiosperms). Flowers are extremely diverse in size, shape, color, and so on. This makes them excellent tools for distinguishing plants. As a physiologist, I can identify a few plants from just leaf and stem, but most of the time I need a flower to identify a plant.
The flower is a short branch (stem with leaves). The nodes of this branch are very close together; the internodes are typically extremely short. The leaves of this branch are of four types: sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels. The short branch is called the receptacle and the four kinds of leaves are attached to this receptacle. In most flowers there are more than two leaves of each kind on the flower, so the leaves are in a whorled arrangement (more than two leaves per node). We'll consider the flower from bottom to top:
The lowest whorl on the receptacle is called the calyx. It is composed of a few or many sepals. In some species, sepals are green and photosynthetic. In other species, they are showy and almost indistingishable from petals.

Reply:Uh, a shorter answer would be to avoid cross-pollination. Plants are all over the place, and most pollinators aren't specific to one species. So, bees and things usually have more than one kind of pollen stuck to them as they visit flowers. Only the pollen of the correct shape will pollinate a particular flower. That way you don't get rose pollen fertilizing say, a marigold.
Reply:Yes. This is what enables scientists to say with accuracy whether an animal lived and died in an area where a certain plant or climate existed (Mastodons ). Microfossils are another emerging technology that uses pollens identification. Fungal spores are also characteristic of their family, genus as well.

What are the main principles in pollen analysis?
Please help.
What are the main principles in pollen analysis?
The general principles of pollen anaylsis are below in a nutshell.
i) pollen grains are produced in large quantities during the natural reproductive cycles of many plants
ii) relative vegetation composition can therefore be inferred from the pollen grains released into the environment, as these are a function of the number of parent plants;
iii) the majority of pollen grains produced by plants never fulfil their reproductive function, and when deposited within sediments they may be preserved as fossils
iv) fossil grains may be extracted from sediments and identified down to family/genus/species level
v) the stratigraphic level at which grains are extracted corresponds with particular periods in the past.

How do I get yellow pollen staines out of a cream carpet?
Resolve Spot Cleaner for Carpets. Sold in the grocery store in a red can with all the other carpet cleaners. This stuff gets everything out I've tried it on so far.
How do I get yellow pollen staines out of a cream carpet?
Its really hard! My mum had to get a new carpet, because a vase of lillies spread so much of the stuff on her carpet!
Reply:vanish also removes stains on clothes
Reply:gently rub with a carpet cleaner, then dry %26amp; vac thoroughly
Reply:gently rub with Vanish, then dry thoroughly
Reply:steam cleaner, or stick a rug on top
Reply:Seems to be a lot of people have this problem! A couple of suggestions are let the natural sunlight get to the pollen or use sticky tape to remove once dry!
Reply:Open your windows and wave a pot of honey in the air to attract bees - then they will fly in and collect the pollen. (Though I'm sure that on re-reading this that bees are attracted to nectar - not honey or pollen - but can't be bothered to change it coz it sounds funny in a strange way)! Good luck with the problem solving anyway.

How do bee's communicate to other bees where the pollen is?
Could a dead end genetic signal from genetically altered plants or soil run off in water they drink have an effect on instinct patterns?
How do bee's communicate to other bees where the pollen is?
They dance by shaking their bottoms and walking around in circles or figure-eights. The pattern they use shows the others where the flowers are, how far away, how many, etc. It's quite remarkable. And yes, I have heard that genetically manipulated plants have a negative effect on bees. Another good reason not to mess with Mother Nature.
Reply:When they return to the hive they do a dance which has a specific pattern that defines direction and distance.
This is from research many decades old.
Reply:they dance to communicate( really it is coordinated movements that mean different words letters or phrases in bee language) Sort of like US Sign language-- the movement of the body to mean different words. :.)

How can i keep pollen off my black car without buying a car cover?
no way possible unless you put it in a closed garage.
How can i keep pollen off my black car without buying a car cover?
Pollen will always accumalate on the car. If you have a good wax on the cars paint it should wipe off easier, but only a car cover will keep it off the car entirely, unless you park your car inside your garage.
Good Luck
PS......A good california duster works well on cars for the pollen to wipe off.
Reply:Wax it, then rinse it.
Reply:Exactly....... A very good car wax
Reply:There is no way, car cover is the only way.
If you get your car waxed it will be easier to get the pollen off.
Reply:A good car wax would help, but if your talking about a vynil top, than I'm not sure what would help that.
Reply:park somewhere else.

What becomes of the generative nucleus in the pollen tube of a germinating pollen grain?
It forms the two male gametes.
One of the fuses with the female gamete to form the diploid zygote or oospore ( Precursor of the embryo ) and the other one fuses with the diploid secondary nucleus to form Triploid endosperm nucleus ( Precursor of the Endosperm )

What is the pollen count like for Orlando in June?
I will be in the orlando area in june, and I was wondering if I should bring some Claritin for allergies.

Hypothesize why pollen grains grow pollen tubes when exposed to a sucrose solution.?
I suppose it is like an ovum developing in order to prepare for fertilization.
Hypothesize why pollen grains grow pollen tubes when exposed to a sucrose solution.?
Turn it into a statement, thats what a hypothesis is. So, in this case it could be Pollen grains will grow pollen tubes when exposed to a sucrose solution. you will then investigate this and find out if that statement is true
I think thats what your asking.. hope this helps, i know what a hypothesis is but i dont usderstand pollen etc

Somehow I just developed allergic reactions to pollen that I never had until the last year or two? Why?
My doctor said this is normal, do you think it has anything to do with the depletion of our ozone layer?
Somehow I just developed allergic reactions to pollen that I never had until the last year or two? Why?
Allergy is a chronic condition. It is caused by a defect in the immune system. It has nothing to do with the ozone layer. Your body is mis-identifying harmless proteins found in very light, white, wind-borne pollens as evil enemy invaders intent on causing disease and destruction. Instead of your body saying "O Hai! A little white piece of harmless pollen from grass..who cares" It says "OOOOO NooooOOOO!!! Help Help We are under attack, get the immune system into action NOW!" So, your body produces a human immunoglobulin E (IgE) that is specific to that protein, this IgE triggers the mast cells in your blood to produce histamine, and it is the histamine that makes you feel so crappy. Each subsequent exposure to this protein in the pollen causes a more reactive response. It has just taken you years to get to the spot where you actually know what is going on. As far as controlling it, I will give you a link to a map that gives you pollen forecasts. In addition, stay inside on windy days and early in the morning and late in the evening. This is when pollen counts are the highest. If you have to be outside at those times, as soon as you come in take a shower, wash your hair, and change your clothes because you will be loaded with pollen and will just spread it all over your house. Same goes for pets too, keep em inside. Keep doors and windows closed. If you have to have the windows open, they make those special pollen screens for the windows, I will give you a link for those. You can also try taking loratadine or diphenhydramine hydrochloride (those are the generic names for Claritin and Benadryl, but you don't need to pay for the name). Be careful of the diphenhydramine hydrochloride, because it can make you sleepy.
Reply:Allergies are caused by the reaction of your bodies imune system to outside contaigen such as pollen, dust, dander %26amp;etc. Your imune system can suddenly switch on %26amp; start reacting to something it didn't used to. It can just as quickly stop reacting to it or slowly lessen the symptoms.
The ozone layer has nothing to do with it.
Reply:If it had happened suddenly the reasons could be diverse.
-You might have come in to contact a new veriety of material objects including the vegitation,animals etc.
-You might have developed some disturbance in your metabilism and hence a disturbance in your immune system.
-maintain a good regimen of your diet and do good yoga/physical exercise.reduce oxidants in your diet. you will find cure.
Reply:I don't think so. I think it has to do with our bodies and our immune systems. I had no allergies at all until I turned 30. Now I have so many, I can't survive the day without my medicine.
Reply:i have the same troubles, i know all people are able to develop new allergies at any time in their lives, but i do have to wonder the same thing, is our ozone layer affecting our health more then we know? i think so...
Reply:everybody's body changes every 7 years. I never use to have really bad allergies until this year now I have to take 2 different kinds of allergy medicines just to feel good every day.
