Pollen allergies cause discomfort and distress. Symptoms include sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and watery eyes. They can also trigger asthma attacks.
Ploieşti's pollen seasons vary by tree and grass type. Tree pollen season starts in late March and lasts until mid-May. Grass pollen season begins in late May and ends in mid-July.
During these periods, pollen counts are high. Trees release male flowers, and grasses produce seeds, releasing pollen into the air. This airborne pollen causes allergic reactions.
Stay indoors during peak pollen hours, typically between 5am and 10am. Keep windows and doors closed to prevent pollen from entering homes and cars.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
