Pollen allergies affect many people in Zvémec, Albania. They cause symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes. Pollen is a fine powder from plants.
Zvémec has two main pollen seasons. The first is in spring, from March to May, when trees like oak and birch bloom. The second is in summer, from July to August, when grasses and weeds release pollen.
During pollen seasons, symptoms are worse. Pollen counts are highest on warm, sunny days. Windy days can make symptoms worse, as pollen spreads more easily.
To reduce symptoms, stay indoors on high-pollen days. Keep windows and doors closed. Use air conditioning to filter the air. Wear a mask when outdoors.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
