Ragweed is known as the killer of the plant kingdom, with strong reproductive ability and a particularly serious impact on the ecosystem.

The Hazards of Ragweed
(1) The ability of ragweed to absorb nutrients is the cause of its harm. Ragweed generally grows in large groups, with strong regenerative and reproductive abilities.
Not only does it make the soil dry and infertile, but its large size also blocks sunlight, making it difficult for other plants to grow and reproduce.
The super strong reproductive ability makes it difficult to eradicate ragweed once it grows.
(2) One of the hazards of ragweed is that ragweed pollen can cause allergies in humans. Ragweed allergy is also a major pathogen of hay fever.
In general, people allergic to ragweed experience itching, especially in the ears, eyes, and nose, accompanied by symptoms such as runny nose and headache.
Severe ragweed allergies can lead to complications such as emphysema and even death.
How to Prevent Ragweed Allergies
Ragweed pollen is the root cause of allergies, so the first step is to avoid contact with ragweed. Pay attention to food hygiene and avoid eating fish, shrimp, and spicy foods.
When encountering ragweed allergies and itching, do not scratch with your hands, as it may worsen the allergic symptoms.
