Pollen allergies make people feel unwell. They sneeze, cough, and itch. Eyes get red and watery. This happens when pollen is in the air.
In Kinna, Sweden, pollen seasons start in March. Tree pollen is the first to arrive. It comes from birch, oak, and hazel trees. This season lasts until May.
In May, grass pollen takes over. It stays until July. This pollen is very strong and makes people feel worst. Many people have symptoms during this time.
In August, weed pollen starts. It lasts until October. This pollen is not as strong as grass pollen, but it still bothers some people.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
