- February-March-April: tree pollen

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