Allergy Alert!
The rain has kept the pollen levels low. However, mold spores are still prevalent. In addition, the Santa Ana winds will be picking up this weekend which can cause allergy flare ups. Please close your windows and take allergy medications if you are pollen allergic.

Don't forget about those moldy pumpkins.
Did you know that a carved pumpkin can grow enough mold within one day to trigger major allergy and asthma symptoms? If someone in your family is mold allergic, be sure to get rid of that Jack o' Lantern before it becomes a health hazard!
Hope you had a Happy Halloween!
