Pollen allergies affect many people in Loksa, Estonia. Trees, grasses, and weeds release pollen into the air, causing symptoms. Symptoms include sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and congestion.
In Loksa, pollen season starts in late March with tree pollen. Birch, oak, and hazel trees release pollen until May. This is the worst time for people with tree pollen allergies.
Grass pollen season begins in June and lasts until August. Weeds like nettle and sorrel release pollen from July to September. These seasons can be just as bad for people with grass and weed pollen allergies.
Pollen counts are usually highest on warm, sunny days with little wind. Rainy days often have lower pollen counts. Knowing the pollen seasons and counts can help people with pollen allergies plan their daily activities.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
