Pollen allergies cause symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes. Trees, grasses, and weeds release pollen into the air, triggering allergic reactions.
In Pustomyty, Ukraine, pollen seasons start in March with tree pollen. Birch, oak, and beech trees release large amounts of pollen. This lasts until May.
Grass pollen season starts in June and ends in July. Weeds like nettle and sorrel release pollen from August to September.
During peak pollen seasons, stay indoors on windy days, keep windows closed, and use an air purifier to reduce exposure to pollen.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
