OVER THREE MILLION PEOPLE IN FRANCE THOUGHT TO BE ALLERGIC TO THIS POLLEN Warnings have been raised in central and south-west France over the presence of ragweed (ambroisie) pollen. The
national pollen watchdog (Réseau National de Surveillance Aérobiologique, RNSA) has placed 12 departments on a red alert, the highest possible, over pollen levels from the plant. The
departments are: * Creuse * Allier * Nièvre * Saône-et-Loire * Loire * Rhône * Ain * Isère * Drôme * Ardèche * Gard * Vaucluse Elsewhere, yellow-tier warnings are in place across the
south-west for ragweed pollen. It is particularly potent for those who suffer an allergy, and each plant can produce up to a billion pollen grains annually. In the north, a low to medium
presence of a number of other common pollens (grass, mugwort, nettles) has raised overall warning levels. > Le temps chaud, ensoleillé et venteux favorise la dispersion des > pollens

RAGWEED POLLEN Estimates from the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety (Anses) state that between one and 3.5 million people in France are allergic to
ragweed in the country. The plant comes in around 40 species, and was imported from North America in the 1800s. It has since become common across Europe, particularly in France, where
conditions are ideal for ragweed to proliferate. It is sometimes classed as an invasive species in Europe. The most common form of ragweed grows as a bush, and reaches around one metre
high. It has green leaves with small flowers, and a reddish stem. It is common across the countryside in rural areas, as well as some urban landscapes. Read more: Dengue: Anti-mosquito
