No mention of air purifiers, oddly. They don’t imagine that pollen can be released from clothes and hair during the course of removal and get cast into the indoor air? Or that pollen can waft in through opened doors?

Anyway, there’s a subtle mention of using masks to prevent pollen exposure.

(It’s an AP article, so direct your ire re: past-tensing the pandemic thataway)

I’m still waiting on helmet.

In the meantime, I can vouch for the efficacy of N95s against allergens.

Very uncool that I do not yet have a climate-controlled helmet with photochromic glass in my prescription equipped with nano projector and bluetooth speakers. I have a birthday coming up.

@thatkatharine gosh, that's pretty dumb. It's in spring when I most notice the good that an air purifier brings (because I go outside and immediately feel a bit more congested, at least some days).
