Colorful bush, BIG problems

TONOPAH, NV - - This colorful plant - - rabbit brush - - is seen everywhere here in Tonopah.  We first encountered it in the Eastern Sierra mountains when we worked at Yosemite NP in 2008.  To some, it's just a nuisance. To allergy sufferers like me, the pollen is a catalyst for bouts of sneezing and puffy, itchy, watery eyes.  And allergy remedies, both over the counter and prescription, don't have the firepower to combat this nasty weed.
