Allergy sufferers take note: this week’s Pollen Report from the University of Cape Town Lung Institute shows that…


… in Bloemfontein, tree pollen levels remain high as ash and olive flowered strongly. Other tree pollens detected include cypress, pine, yellowwood, willow, white stinkwood, birch, and oak. Weed and grass levels remain low and mould levels very low.

In Kimberley, tree pollen levels are low with measurements for ash, pine, yellowwood, cypress, white stinkwood and white mulberry. Scant weed levels were detected and included Euphorbia and the daisy family. Grasses remain low and moulds were very low.
