Pollen allergies cause symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes. They occur when trees, grasses, and weeds release pollen into the air.
In Limoges, France, tree pollen season starts in January and lasts until April. Oaks, birches, and hazelnuts are the main culprits.
Grass pollen season follows from May to July. This is usually the worst time for pollen allergy sufferers. Symptoms are more severe and last longer.
Weed pollen season is from August to October. Ragweed and nettle are common offenders. Pollen counts are usually lower during this season, but still cause issues.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
