Patterns in Google Trends Terms Reporting Rhinitis and Ragweed Pollen Season in Ukraine

Conclusions: GT may be a useful tool in the differentiation of the pollen seasons, especially when they overlap as in the case ofArtemisia/Ambrosia. Three terms, "allergy," "hay fever," and "ragweed" (in Cyrillic equivalents), are required in Ukraine to account for ragweed pollen exposure. The combination of GT tools with pollen counts may be used in large-scale epidemiological studies.Int Arch Allergy Immunol (Source: International Archives of Allergy and Immunology)
