Pollen allergies occur when the body reacts to pollen. Pollen is a fine powder produced by trees, grasses, and flowers to reproduce. In Pomos, Cyprus, pollen seasons vary.
Trees pollinate from February to May, releasing allergenic pollen. Olive, cypress, and pine trees are common allergy triggers. Their pollen counts peak in March and April.
Grasses pollinate from May to July, releasing large amounts of allergenic pollen. Wild grasses and weeds grow abundantly in Pomos, causing high pollen counts in June.
Flowers pollinate from August to November, releasing moderate amounts of allergenic pollen. In Pomos, Cyprus, autumn flowers like chamomile and sage contribute to elevated pollen counts in October.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
