Pollen allergies occur when the body's immune system reacts to pollen. Pollen is a natural substance from trees, grasses, and weeds. It spreads through the air.
In Orșova, Romania, pollen seasons vary. Tree pollen is high from March to May. Grass pollen is high from May to July. Weed pollen is high from July to October.
During pollen seasons, people with allergies may experience symptoms. These include sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and congestion. Symptoms can be mild or severe.
To reduce symptoms, people can take simple steps. They can stay indoors when pollen counts are high. They can keep windows and doors closed. They can use air purifiers.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
