So it's not just one bit of pollen, but it's lots of little bits of pollen that in turn can inflame your lungs and make it even worse. So those are the things that we've observed so far.

Well, they obviously have an effect in regard to undermining respiratory health, making it much more difficult. I know for myself, one of the things I always carry with me and I have since I was a teenager is my inhaler, my rescue inhaler. In part, I guess I chose the wrong profession. But this is something that can really be an effect in regard to how it feels.

When you have somebody standing on your chest and it's hard to breathe, it's not very pleasant. And so we want to have this be recognized as an impact with regard to your respiratory health, but also recognize that there are ways and means in which to deal with it.

Particularly young individuals and elderly are the most affected.

One of the things that we can do, at least at the local level, is to begin to do a better estimate of when the pollen is coming about so we're prepared. But one of the ways to prepare is to make sure that you can close your windows, make sure the pollen isn't coming in, having HEPA filters within your home to process the air.

And for myself, one of the things I do, particularly during high pollen season, is to wash my clothes more frequently because often when I'm outside, I get a lot of pollen on my clothes and then I start breathing it in. So I try to wash my clothes a little more frequently.

When you look at their symptomology and the effects of that, one of the things, of course, is to work with your doctor in terms of the medication that you need to take, whether or not you need to wear a mask to prevent large inhalation of pollen. There are a number of things that pharmacology and modern science and medicine can do to help in that regard.

Well, yeah, they've cut all funding, so it's hard to know what the next steps are going to be. One of the things we'd like to try and do is to look at the secondary effects of breathing in pollen, particularly in regard to the immune system. One of the things that pollen can do is to stimulate your epithelial cells in terms of your respiratory pathway.

And by doing so, it may actually increase your susceptibility for airborne viruses. There was some work that we were doing looking at how things like COVID and other airborne viruses could be impacted by pollen and the effects that pollen has on your immune system. That's something we think is important. We'd like to know more about it.

That would probably be the next thing on my list of research topics.
