Pollen allergies occur when the body's immune system overreacts to pollen. In Marbella, pollen levels vary by season. Trees release pollen from February to April.
Olives, cypress, and pine trees are common allergenic species. They produce large amounts of pollen, causing symptoms like itchy eyes, runny nose, and sneezing.
Grasses release pollen from May to July. This period is critical for allergy sufferers. Pollen counts are highest during hot, dry, and windy weather.
In autumn, weeds like ragweed and sagebrush produce pollen. Although less severe, autumn pollen can still trigger allergic reactions. Pollen seasons vary from year to year.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
