Does the fact that plants produced pollen early this year mean that they will finish earlier?

The pollen season and therefore the hayfever season started early this year. Does this mean that plants will stop producing pollen earlier or will they have an extended pollen season?

Does the fact that plants produced pollen early this year mean that they will finish earlier?
It is my understanding that the allergy season is going to be pretty bad this year. I also think it depends on where you live. I am in Northern California and it did not rain much this past season. Things bloomed early and as a result... allergies have been bad. The high counts earlier have been for trees, so just imagine, grass and other allergens are still to come into full stregnth. Here in CA because of the warm weather we are now experiencing rapid growth of grasses. If you allergic to those, you will still be suffering. As someone who suffers pretty much year round... this season has been brutal! I don't believe pollen production comes to a complete stop, it just slows down... and as long as the weather is warm... it will not slow down until it cools down. For relief, just make sure to have your allergy meds at hand. If you don't get enough relief from them, ask your Dr. to give you samples of others to try. 1 med doesn't fit all. If you are an asthmatic who suffers with the allergies, I have found advair to help with asthma symptoms. Flonase is also another good med if you don't mind squiting it into your nose (this one is for allergies). GOOD LUCK %26amp; RELIEF!
