Pollen allergy symptoms include sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and congestion. These symptoms occur when the body reacts to pollen in the air.
Arad, Romania has two main pollen seasons. The tree pollen season starts in late March and lasts until early May. During this time, trees like oak and birch release pollen.
The grass pollen season occurs from late May to mid-July. Grasses like timothy and orchard release pollen during this period. Both seasons can cause allergy symptoms.
Pollen counts are highest on warm, windy days and lowest on cool, rainy days. Staying indoors on high pollen days and using air purifiers can help reduce symptoms.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
