Pollen allergies cause symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes. In Braila, Romania, pollen seasons vary by tree and grass types.
Trees like oak, birch, and hazel release pollen in early spring, from March to May. This is the main pollen season in Braila.
Grasses release pollen in late spring and early summer, from May to July. This season is shorter but still causes allergy symptoms.
Pollen counts are usually highest on warm, sunny days and lowest on cool, rainy days. Checking daily pollen counts can help allergy sufferers plan their days.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
