Interesting Fact # 929 - Ragweed
Ragweed is the leading cause of late-summer hay fever in North America.
(The problem is it's spreading to Europe and extending the havfever season to October! In Germany, ragweed is called 'ambrosia,' which is from the plant's botanical name, Ambrosia artemisiifolia. A nice name for a nasty menace.)
