The AMC/NOMA is pleased to announce that Allergist Arthur E Varner, M.D. will be providing the daily pollen counts along with preventative methods to help allergy sufferers cope with the sniffling and sneezing brought on by the season. The AMC/NOMA Pollen Line will be providing pollen counts Monday through Friday beginning May 1st. Dr. Varner's report is updated daily and local news stations, The Plain Dealer and many Northeastern Ohio residents who suffer from allergies and hay fever use the information. The Pollen Line has been serving the community for over 40 years with seasonal reports concerning local allergen levels. This coming season will be the 44th year that the hotline has been in existence.

The public can call the free hotline at 216-520-1050 to hear Dr. Varner's recorded report on the density of the allergens, the probable effect on those who are sensitive to those agents, and what precautions to take. The Pollen Line will be accessible 24 hours a day Monday through Friday from May 1st to October 1st, with the reports recorded by 8:00 am each morning.
