Causes behind the problem
Plants produce pollen year round. What may surprise you is that roses and many other colorful, fragrant flowers are not likely to cause allergies. Instead, Pollen from trees, grasses and weeds are usually the main offenders. In the spring and fall, Pollen-rich air from outside enters your home through cracks and windows. People and pets also track Pollen into their houses on their feet.
Health effects
Pollen can cause sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, coughing and swollen, itchy eyes. For people with severe allergies, asthma attacks can occur.*

Pollen is a bit of a nomad. A wayward sort who likes to float around the house looking for an easy sneeze. But, if left to roam freely, he can make things difficult for anyone with allergies, asthma or other respiratory problems.
