Pollen allergy

Pollen is very small and can pass through mosquito screens.

During which period can you expect to have problems?

• February-March-April: tree pollen
• May-June: grass pollen
• June-July-August: weed pollen

If you are allergic to tree pollen, you can also develop cross-allergies to pome fruits (apple, pear, plum...).

• During the pollen season, only open your bedroom window in the morning and evening.
• Preferably go on holiday to the sea or the mountains, where there is less pollen.
• Keep the windows of your vehicle closed.
• Some professions lead to more problems. E.g.: being a gardener, if you are allergic to pollen.
• See the pollen calendar here.
