Pollen allergies affect many people in Spydeberg, Norway. Pollen is released by trees, grasses, and flowers into the air. This causes symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes.
The pollen season in Spydeberg starts in March with alder and hazel trees releasing pollen. Birch trees follow in April, causing high pollen counts. May brings grass pollen.
Trees and grasses stop releasing pollen by June. Weeds then take over, causing low-level pollen counts throughout summer. Ragweed is a common allergenic weed.
In autumn, weeds stop releasing pollen, and trees prepare for winter. Pollen counts drop to zero by November, bringing relief to those with pollen allergies.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
