Paper Mulberry possess serious problems of pollen
allergy in Islamabad is in low concentration and almost harmless for the
patients susceptible to Paper Mulberry nowadays. The continuous wet spells is
considered to be the main reason. The sprouting of Paper Mulberry has not yet
started as a result of delayed onset of spring. Whereas, the atmospheric
concentration of Pines, Grasses and Cannabis lies in high category. Therefore,

precautionary measures. It is expected that the trend in allergic pollen will
change and the concentration of Paper Mulberry pollen will increase and dominate

second half of March. |
