Pollen allergies happen when the body reacts to tiny particles in the air from trees, grasses, and weeds. This causes symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes.
In Botosani, Romania, pollen seasons vary by plant. Trees pollinate in March and April, releasing large amounts of pollen into the air. Grasses pollinate in May and June.
Weeds pollinate in July, August, and September, causing allergy symptoms to persist. Certain weeds like ragweed and nettle are common allergens in Botosani.
Pollen counts are highest on warm, dry days with little wind. Rainy and cool days tend to have lower pollen counts. Pollen levels peak between 5am and 10am.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
