Pollen allergies happen when the body mistakes pollen for a harmful invader. It releases chemicals to fight the pollen, causing symptoms. Symptoms include sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes.
In Corneşti, Romania, pollen seasons vary by tree type. Birch pollen is released from late March to early April. Oak pollen is released from mid-April to early May.
Grass pollen is released from late May to early July. This is usually the worst part of pollen season. People with allergies often feel miserable during this time.
Windy days and high temperatures make pollen counts worse. Rain and cold temperatures make them better. People with allergies should stay indoors on windy days and use air conditioners to filter 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.
