Can pollen hurt my harddrive (and PC, in general)?

The pollen count where I live is fairly high and since I've had my windows open a lot I've noticed that I'm finding pollen on counter tops and such in my house. Is it a serious threat to my computer (and specifically, my HD) that pollen could mess with the insides of my system???

Cannot be bad from that of general dust. I wouldn't worry about it. I've seen alot worst from smokers.

Re: Can pollen hurt my harddrive (and PC, in general)?

Hard drives are sealed up so things like pollen and dust can not get in. It may cause problems with cd and floppy drives.

Just get a can of compressed air and give it a good blowing out and it should be fine.
