Do you suffer with allergic reactions to plant pollen? If so, new technology from Germany could soon make your life a little easier with the next generation of pollen detection.

Currently, pollen counts are based on time-consuming physical identification and examination of pollen in the air but this latest advance in allergy warnings could provide a real-time automated system that will provide allergy sufferers with information by the hour on what pollen is circulating.

A procedure used in laboratories to identify chemical structures of pollen grain could be implemented into a warning system that will help sufferers determine what pollen is around hour-by-hour and avoid exposure to it.

This system won’t help allergy sufferers overcome their allergies, but alternative medicine and complementary therapy methods can.
