Pollen allergies cause symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and congestion. They happen when pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds gets airborne.
In Azuga, Romania, tree pollen season starts in late March and ends in early May. This is when birch, beech, and oak trees release their pollen.
Grass pollen season in Azuga is from mid-May to mid-July. Weeds like nettle and sorrel produce pollen from mid-July to late September.
Pollen counts are usually highest on warm, sunny days with low humidity. Avoid outdoor activities during peak pollen hours, 5am-10am, to minimize exposure.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
