Pollen allergies cause symptoms like itchiness, sneezing, and runny nose. They affect people who breathe in pollen from plants, trees, and grasses.
In Predeal, Romania, pollen seasons vary by plant type. Trees like oak, birch, and hazel release pollen from March to May. Grasses release pollen from May to July.
Weeds like nettle, sorrel, and plantain release pollen from July to September. Ragweed, a common allergenic weed, releases pollen from August to October.
Pollen counts are usually highest on warm, sunny days with little wind. Stay indoors when pollen counts are high to reduce exposure and allergy symptoms.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
