shows where juniper trees are most prevalent. The highest concentration is to the southwest of the Dallas-Fort Worth area west of the Interstate 35 Corridor.“Cedar fever is the worst west of I-35, where you have primarily juniper mixed in with oaks and some other species,” said, Texas A&M Forest Service Central Texas Operations Department Head. “And because all of those junipers are producing pollen at the same time, you’re going to get a higher concentration of pollen in the air.
The Forest Service says pollen from Ashe junipers isn't particularly allergenic or harmful. It's just so concentrated that even those who don't typically suffer from allergies can still be affected. “There are millions of junipers out there all releasing pollen at the same time,” said Karl Flocke, a woodland ecologist for Texas A&M Forest Service.“You can’t help but breathe it in, and when you do, your body reacts as it would to any perceived threat - it tries to fight it.”Pollen production reaches its peak in mid-January, before slowly tapering off toward the beginning of March, just in time for oak pollen and other spring allergens to start up.
