Pollen allergens come from trees, grass, and weeds. They release tiny particles into the air, causing allergy symptoms. In Vught, Netherlands, pollen seasons vary.
Tree pollen season starts in March and lasts until May. Hazel, alder, and birch trees are the main culprits. Symptoms include sneezing, congestion, and itchy eyes.
Grass pollen season peaks in June and July. It's the most common allergy trigger. Symptoms worsen on hot, sunny days when grasses release more pollen.
Weed pollen season runs from August to October. Nettle, sorrel, and dock plants contribute to allergy symptoms. Check daily pollen forecasts to plan your activities.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
