Pollen allergies occur when plants release pollen into the air. This causes symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes in some people.
In Podujevo, Kosovo, pollen seasons vary by tree and grass type. Trees pollinate from February to May, while grasses pollinate from May to July.
During pollen seasons, people with allergies may feel worse. They should stay indoors, avoid outdoor activities, and keep windows closed.
Pollen counts are usually highest in the morning and evening. Air quality apps and weather forecasts can help track pollen levels and plan daily activities.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
