Pollen allergies cause symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes. Trees, grasses, and weeds release pollen into the air, triggering allergic reactions.
In Adana, Turkey, pollen season starts in February with cedar and cypress trees. These trees release pollen until April, causing allergy symptoms to peak.
Grasses and weeds bloom in May and June, releasing more pollen into the air. This second wave of pollen season can last until August.
To reduce allergy symptoms, stay indoors on windy days, keep windows closed, and use air purifiers. Wear a mask when outdoors to filter pollen from the air.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
