With the same gentle spell that characterized February and the early days of March, the pollen allergy season has started early this year. Are you one of those who can’t head out without toting tissues, nasal sprays, and other antihistamines in your bag?
Spring Allergies – Are you allergic to pollen?
Since the end of the 20th century, spring allergies have risen sharply: while they affected about 8% of the population in 1977, today the share sits at 25 to 30 percent depending on the region.
Birch, ash, or willow—the allergenic pollens are plentiful. Runny nose, conjunctivitis, asthma attacks—the symptoms and their intensity vary from person to person. To guard against them, there are solutions, even though we are not all equally susceptible to allergies, far from it! And you? Do you love spring, or do the allergies affect you too much?
