Pollen allergies cause symptoms like itchy eyes, runny nose, and sneezing. They occur when plants release pollen into the air.
In Davos Platz, trees like birch and hazel release pollen from late March to early May. Grasses release pollen from mid-May to mid-July.
Weeds like nettles and sorrel release pollen from mid-July to late September. Mold spores also grow in autumn and winter.
Pollen counts are usually highest on warm, sunny days with light winds. They are usually lowest on cool, rainy days with strong winds.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
