Knowing More About Pollen Feels Kind Of Dirty…
Pollen, the tiny grains produced by plants for reproduction, is a real miracle of nature. It’s like the plant world’s version of sperm, but instead of swimming through a cervix, it gets carried around by bees and other pollinators. And just like human sperm, pollen is super tiny and lightweight, which is why it’s able to float through the air and land on other plants. When it gets inhaled, it can cause all kinds of sniffling, sneezing, and itchy eyes. (ACAAI)
