Poaceae

The Poaceae family is one of the most important families of plants in the world. Grasses provide food, fuel, and fiber for humans and animals. In addition, grasses play a vital role in the ecosystem, providing habitat and food for many creatures.

Grasses are characterized by their long, narrow leaves and by the way they produce their flowers. Most grasses produce their flowers in inflorescences, which are clusters of small flowers borne on a stalk. The inflorescence of a grass is often referred to as a spikelet.

There are more than 12,000 species of grasses, which are distributed throughout the world. Grasses are found in every habitat, from the Arctic tundra to the tropical rainforest.

Poaceae, the family of grasses, is one of the most common sources of pollen allergies. In fact, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, grass pollen is one of the top five allergens that cause seasonal allergies.

If you're allergic to grass pollen, you may experience symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and difficulty breathing. These symptoms can be mild to severe, and can even lead to a life-threatening reaction known as anaphylaxis.

There is no cure for grass pollen allergies, but there are treatments that can help to manage the symptoms. If you're struggling to cope with your allergies, talk to your doctor about your options.
