Pollen Allergy Summary – Content Creation

Request for Proposal

V.0.3.1-20220408

 

Writing Guide: https://article.picturethisai.com/writing-guide/ 

What’s this content for

You are selected to create plants’ brief profiles on pollen allergies. A list of plants will be provided and you are supposed to tell the readers how likely are their pollen to cause allergies, what degree of allergy they may cause, and the seasons that may trigger pollen allergies.

Our content will be shown in the app like this:

Basic information will be given in advance, so we should try our best to provide information that cannot be represented above.

Allergenicity, peak season and allergen code of these species will be given as referential fields, please try to keep your content consistent with these values.

Requirements

1.     Word Count: around 30 words. It is OK to go a bit longer if there are plenty of details.

2.    Focus: in these pieces of profiles, please make sure the contents are focused on the pollen allergy only.
       Don’ts: Information like distribution, taxonomy, identification, etc. will be displayed in other written sections with more details. So no need to mention these.
       Do not mention the regions it affects. We will show it on a map.
The allergen code of these plants will show in another section too, so please do not mention that.
       Don’t mention therapy and prevention in this section. These pieces of information will be discussed in a general article.

3.    Information Covered:

  • [Mandatory] How likely is it to cause an allergy;
    Try to be consistent with the referential fields we provided. But if you can find different ratings in more than one referential link, please tell us in the comment box.
  • [Mandatory] The typical allergy-triggering season and peak season;
    Note: the “peak season” we provided in the referential field may be incorrect. Instead, it could be the whole allergy season. If you can find a reliable peak season different from the referential, please tell us in the comment box too. (Just the season is enough for us, like “Summer” or so.)
  • [Optional] Typical environment it affects. Downtown, parks, urban green space, suburban open space, or agricultural fields.
  • [Optional] Other notable information on its triggering allergy, like weather, any specific ingredient that caused the allergy (if there is), etc.

4.     Consistency: If you find there’s any problem with the data given, please write based on what you find and simply state the problems (with referential links supported) in the comment box.

 

 

E.g.  t73 (Allergen Code) =>t5 (https://www….)

 

5.     Avoid Simple Listing: Do not simply list More than 3 seasons, countries, regions, or so. Try to generalize in some ways, or just list the 3 most important ones. 

6.     Reference: List all the links you have referenced.

Special attention
  • Scientifically speaking, salix and poplar fluffs are not pollens, but in this section, we write them in the same way as pollens.
Useful Resources
Example

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa)
allergenicity moderate, peak season spring to fall, code w45
[36 words, a great example by Natalie Martin (with minor modification)]

Producing pollen from spring through fall, Alfalfa is a moderate allergen found primarily in agricultural fields and other open spaces. Cutting the plant while it is blooming will be more likely to trigger an allergic reaction.
