Are cottonwood trees bad for allergies?

Cottonwood trees can be a major source of allergies, especially for those who are allergic to pollen. The pollen from cottonwood trees is light and can easily travel long distances, making it a common cause of allergic reactions.

Cottonwood trees produce male and female flowers on separate trees. The male flowers produce pollen, which is then dispersed by the wind. The female flowers produce seeds, which are dispersed by the wind or by animals.

The pollen from cottonwood trees is most prevalent in the spring, but it can also be found in the summer and fall. The pollen is most likely to cause allergic reactions when it is dry and windy.

Symptoms of a cottonwood allergy can include:

* Sneezing

* Runny nose

* Itchy eyes

* Watery eyes

* Congestion

* Sore throat

* Coughing

* Difficulty breathing

If you are allergic to cottonwood trees, you may want to avoid areas where they are growing, especially during the spring. You may also want to keep your windows and doors closed during windy days. If you experience any symptoms of a cottonwood allergy, you may want to see a doctor.
