Boston and parts of Massachusetts are currently experiencing a significant pollen event, with a thick cloud of yellow-green pollen suspended over the region. This pollen, primarily from pine trees, is peaking now and causing discomfort for many residents, particularly those with allergies. Despite the visible pollen, doctors suggest that it is not the primary trigger for allergies. The pollen that is not visible is reportedly more problematic for allergy sufferers. An aerial photo of the pollen cloud was submitted by Ed Hughes, highlighting the severity of the situation.
