Recently, the pollen deposition of grasses and summer weeds has started in the last few days, and pollen from many spring flowering trees is also in the air.
So allergy sufferers should be on the lookout!
Pollen from about 20 allergenic plants can be encountered. Pollen from sycamore pollen can be present in high amounts, while birch pollen is only present in low to medium ranges.
Oak pollen concentrations are medium to high, mainly in the Transdanubian region.
Pollen levels of walnut, hornbeam, maple, willow, beech and cypress are quite low. Grasses and summer weeds can be controlled by regularly mowing and cutting the grass. Ragweed is also starting to appear in the fields, so you can pull it up by the roots at this time of year.
The best way to relieve symptoms is to have less and less contact with the allergy-causing particle, pollen. You should even avoid places where you grow a lot of the problem plant. Other allergens can also trigger allergy symptoms and make them more intense. Even foods that cause a hypersensitivity reaction should be avoided. This includes dairy products or baked goods containing gluten. Smoke can also aggravate the symptoms, which is why smoking and passive smoking should be avoided.
It is also very important to pay attention to cleanliness.
Pollen sticks to clothes, hair and skin. It then easily gets into the body, so give it as little chance as possible. Shower daily and wash your hair often. Change your bed linen often too. Wash and vacuum several times a week. If you have pets, bathe them regularly as pollen can easily get caught in their fur. It’s a good idea to wear a mask when cleaning so you don’t breathe in the dust. During allergy season, only ventilate at dawn and keep windows closed during the day.
