Pollen allergies affect many people worldwide. In Symi, Greece, pollen seasons vary by plant type. Trees pollinate from February to April, causing initial allergy symptoms.
Grasses pollinate from May to June, releasing high amounts of pollen into the air. This period is particularly challenging for allergy sufferers. Symptoms may worsen during this time.
Weeds pollinate from July to September, continuing to irritate allergy-prone individuals. August is usually the peak pollen month in Symi. Avoiding outdoor activities during peak hours can help.
Consider staying indoors with windows closed during pollen seasons to minimize exposure. Use air purifiers and wash clothes frequently to reduce pollen accumulation.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
