Open Access: A fungal spore calendar for England: Analysis of 13 years of daily concentrations. First author: Fiona A. Symon; corresponding author: Anna L. Hansell

Read the article here: https://t.co/jSSLZ5QY2u

Thirty percent of hay fever patients and 70% of severe asthmatic patients in the UK are also allergic to airborne fungal spores. Symon et al. report the seasonal distribution in concentration for the nine most abundant spores in central England, based on data collected over a 13-year period.
