Pollen allergies occur when plants release tiny particles into the air. These particles cause allergic reactions in some people.
Lugoj, Romania has a temperate climate with four distinct seasons. This means plants bloom at different times, releasing pollen into the air.
Trees, grasses, and weeds release pollen. In Lugoj, trees pollinate in early spring, grasses in late spring, and weeds in summer and early fall.
People with pollen allergies may experience symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes during these times. They may need to stay indoors or use allergy-proof masks outdoors.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
