Pollen allergies occur when the body reacts to airborne pollen. In Nice, France, three main pollen seasons exist: tree, grass, and weed.
Tree pollen season starts in February and lasts until May. Trees like olive, cypress, and pine release pollen into the air.
Grass pollen season runs from May to July. Grasses and crops release pollen, making it difficult for allergy sufferers.
Weed pollen season takes place from July to October. Weeds like ragweed and sorrel release pollen, causing allergic reactions.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
