Pollen allergies are a common problem in Banská Bystrica, Slovakia. They cause symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes. Trees, grasses, and weeds produce pollen.
In Banská Bystrica, pollen seasons start in early spring and last until late summer. Tree pollen appears first, followed by grass pollen, and then weed pollen.
Tree pollen season starts in March and lasts until May. It comes from trees like birch, oak, and hazel. During this time, pollen counts are highest in the morning.
Grass pollen season starts in May and lasts until July. Weed pollen season starts in July and lasts until September. Both cause high pollen counts during hot, dry weather.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
