Pollen allergies occur when the body overreacts to pollen. Pollen is a powder made by trees, grasses, and weeds. It spreads through the air, causing allergy symptoms.
Ghimeş-Făget, Romania has two main pollen seasons. Tree pollen season typically starts in late March and lasts until early May. During this time, birch, oak, and hazel trees release pollen.
Grass pollen season usually begins in late May and ends in early July. Many grass species release pollen during this period. Weeds also release pollen, mainly in late summer and early fall.
People with pollen allergies may experience symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and congestion. They can reduce symptoms by avoiding outdoor activities during peak pollen hours and keeping windows closed.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
