Pollen allergies affect many people in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. They cause symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes. Tree pollen is the main culprit.
In Mostar, tree pollen season starts in February and lasts till May. Oak, birch, and hazel trees release pollen during this time. Symptoms worsen on windy days.
Grass pollen season typically starts in May and ends in July. This pollen irritates eyes, nose, and throat. Symptoms are worse on hot, sunny days.
Weeds release pollen from August to October. Ragweed and nettle are common allergy triggers. Staying indoors during peak pollen hours and keeping windows closed can help alleviate symptoms.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
