The allergy season is upon us again with the grass and tree pollen building up to irritating levels for those that are affected.
| Allergen | Time of year when symptoms are worst |
| Grass pollen | October – May |
| Tree pollen | October – April |
| Weeds, spores | September – April |
A few strategies to ensure your allergies don't get the better of you.
Self-help strategies:
- Try and stay indoors on days when the pollen count is high – this limits the contact you have with the allergens you’re sensitive to.
- Keep doors and windows closed when the pollen count is high.
- Stay away from areas where there’s more pollen such as parks, especially in the early morning and late afternoon and evening when the pollen count is highest.
- Wear good-fitting sunglasses to keep pollen out of your eyes.
- Take a shower and wash your hair after going outside when the pollen count is high.
- Don’t dry washing outside if pollen counts are high – pollen may get trapped in the fibres of clothes and bed linen.
