Chako: Hey, Log! Did you know they’ve developed a cedar tree that produces zero pollen?
Log: Oh, that’s the “Kohbare Funin No. 1.” That’s great news for people with allergies.
Chako: Do you really think it can be a savior?
Log: Well, they say this year’s pollen count is going to be 1.4 times higher than last year’s, so the demand for it will surely increase.
Navi: Since pollen allergies affect many people, this new cedar tree is considered a significant breakthrough. We should be especially cautious as spring approaches.

Admin’s Note

For those struggling with pollen allergies, “Shinbare Furin No. 1” may be a beacon of hope. As pollen levels rise, I look forward to seeing how this new type of cedar tree will impact the situation in future studies. Additionally, this might be a good opportunity to reconsider the use of masks and medications for allergy prevention. As we enter this season, it’s important to take proper precautions.
