Pollen allergies affect many people in Micottis, Italy. They happen when plants release pollen into the air. This irritates eyes, nose, and throat.
Trees pollinate in early spring, usually March to May. Grasses pollinate in late spring, around May to June. Weeds pollinate in summer, around July to September.
During pollen seasons, people with allergies experience symptoms. They may feel tired, sneeze, or have itchy eyes. They may also have a runny nose or congestion.
To reduce symptoms, people can stay indoors when pollen counts are high. They can also wear masks or use air purifiers to filter out pollen.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
