Pollen allergies cause sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes. The main culprit is pollen from trees, grasses, and flowers.
In Girne, Turkey, pollen seasons vary. Tree pollen peaks in March and April. Grass pollen is highest in May and June.
Flower pollen follows in July and August. The amount of pollen in the air can change daily, depending on weather and temperature.
People with pollen allergies can take steps to reduce symptoms. Staying indoors on high-pollen days and using air purifiers can help.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
