Pollen allergies cause symptoms like itchy eyes, runny nose, and sneezing. They happen when plants release pollen into the air. Radovac, Montenegro has trees, grass, and weeds that produce allergenic pollen.
Trees like oak, birch, and beech produce pollen in spring. This pollen season usually starts in March and lasts until May. Grasses and weeds pollinate in summer, from June to August.
Pollen counts are highest on warm, dry, and windy days. Rainy days help remove pollen from the air, giving relief to allergy sufferers. Pollen seasons can vary from year to year due to weather conditions.
To minimize symptoms, stay indoors during peak pollen hours, use air purifiers, and keep windows closed. Avoid outdoor activities during peak pollen seasons. Wear a mask when outdoors to filter pollen from the air.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
