Allergy Sufferers on Alert as Saharan Dust Returns to the RGV
A huge dust cloud from the Saharan desert in Africa he said to reach the United States today. This annual phenomenon could cause problems for allergy sufferers.
While some are just hearing about the Saharan dust phenomenon, this has become an annual occurrence during hurricane season. The dust cloud is not dangerous per se, but it could cause problems for those with sensitive allergies.
If you are particularly sensitive to outdoor air quality, you might want to avoid spending too much time outside for the next couple of days and wear a mask if you must be (which is recommended anyway to protect our community from the spread of COVID-19).
