Did You Know


Did you know, that the yellow pollen that coats our cars is called Pine Pollen. Pine Pollen isn't the pollen that drives our allergies crazy. It's too large and heavy. Instead of drifting into our noses, it usually just falls to the ground. Of course, there're exceptions to every rule.

Yet another fact I didn't know Sandra. Thanks for sharing.
Take care.

I did know that it was called Pine Pollen - here as well. Mind you, my allergies act up something shocking when the air is filled with it. Perhaps it is something else but when that heavy yellow dust goes I feel much better.

Another fact I didn't know! Hugs, Valerie

Never knew this one either.

No, I didn't know that at all. I've been falsely accusing yellow pollen all these years! Have a great day.

Or falls all over my car.

Birgit said...

Ahh yes that pollen can also stain our clothes and it’s a bugger to get it out.usually molds are the main culprit in the spring. My ex would go through a box of Kleenex. In an hour due to all the sneezing he went through

Sandra Cox said...

My pleasure, Yvonne;)

Jeanie said...

It's a super pain. I hate it!

Sandra Cox said...

It's got to have some sort of an affect, doesn't it, even if it's not considered one of the heavy hitting culprits?

Sandra Cox said...

Innit the truth.

Sandra Cox said...

This one was a bit of a surprise to me too.
Hugs received and returned.

Sandra Cox said...

Your allergy factoid, Jamie:)

Sandra Cox said...

Heh. I think we all have and I imagine some of that sly stuff does find its way into our nostrils.

Sandra Cox said...

Yup that's pollen for ya. It's just a pain isn't it, Birgit?

Sandra Cox said...

Yes and yes.

This is fun trivia, and will definitely endear me to friends when I point out the actual name of the stuff on their cars(lol) Hope your day is as amazing as you are. Hugs, RO

No lo sabĂ­a, genial entrada. Te mando un beso

Not only did I not know that, I've never heard of Pine Pollen. Maybe we don't get it in this part of the country.

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks, bud. My theory, we should just all buy yellow cars and be done with it. Ha.

Sandra Cox said...

Who'd a thought. Right?

Magic Love Crow said...

I didn't know that! Very interesting! Big Hugs!

Sandra Cox said...

Glad you liked it, Stacy:)

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks, J.P.
Hugs,

Probably not. You see it in the Midwest and are deluged with it in the South. No matter the color of your car, if it's outside during pollen season, it will be coated yellow.
