Pollen allergies affect many people in Gescher, Germany. Trees, grasses, and weeds release pollen into the air, causing allergic reactions. Symptoms include sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes.
Tree pollen season starts in March and lasts until May. Hazel, birch, and oak trees are common allergens. Their pollen counts are highest in the morning.
Grass pollen season begins in May and ends in July. Many grass species release pollen, causing allergic reactions. Counts are highest on warm, windy days.
Weed pollen season starts in July and lasts until September. Ragweed and nettle are common allergens. Pollen counts are highest on dry, windy days.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
