Pollen allergies occur when the body reacts to tiny particles from plants. In Caracal, Romania, trees, grasses, and weeds produce pollen.
Tree pollen season starts in March and lasts until May. Trees like oak, birch, and hazel release pollen into the air. Symptoms include sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes.
Grass pollen season is from May to July. This type of pollen causes the most severe allergies. Symptoms worsen on hot, sunny days with little wind.
Weed pollen season is from August to October. Weeds like ragweed, nettle, and sorrel release pollen. People with pollen allergies should stay indoors on windy days with high pollen counts.
