Pollen allergies cause symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and congestion. They occur when trees, grasses, and weeds release pollen into the air.
Trees like oak, birch, and hazelnut produce pollen in early spring, typically from March to May in Tulcea, Romania. Grasses pollinate in late spring, around May and June.
Weeds like ragweed and nettle release pollen in late summer, from August to September. This is the most intense pollen season in Tulcea, causing strongest allergic reactions.
People with pollen allergies should stay indoors during peak pollen hours, avoid outdoor activities, and keep windows closed to minimize 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.
