Pollen allergy causes symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes. It's caused by the immune system reacting to pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds.
In Cărbunari, Romania, pollen seasons vary by plant. Trees pollinate from March to May. Grasses pollinate from May to July. Weeds pollinate from July to September.
During these seasons, pollen counts are highest on windy, sunny days. Rainy days have lower pollen counts. Pollen counts are usually highest between 5am and 10am.
Pollen allergy sufferers can take steps to reduce symptoms. Stay indoors during peak pollen hours. Keep windows and doors closed. Use air purifiers to remove pollen from the air.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
