Pollen allergies cause symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes. They happen when plants release pollen into the air.
In Zubrzyca Górna, Poland, pollen seasons vary by plant type. Trees pollinate in early spring, from late March to early May.
Grasses pollinate in late spring and early summer, from late May to early July. Weeds pollinate in late summer and early fall, from late August to early October.
During pollen seasons, people with pollen allergies should stay indoors with windows closed and use air purifiers to reduce 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.
