In Didžiasalis, Lithuania, trees produce pollen from late March to early May. Birch, oak, and hazel trees are the main allergenic pollen producers.
During this time, pollen counts are highest in the morning and on windy days. People with pollen allergies should stay indoors on these days.
Grasses and weeds produce pollen from May to July. This pollen is lighter and can travel farther, causing more severe allergy symptoms.
People with pollen allergies should check daily pollen counts and plan their activities accordingly. They should also keep windows closed and use air purifiers to reduce exposure.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
