Why does pollen trigger allergies?
Pollen from trees, grasses and weeds can be inhaled and cause allergy and asthma symptoms. Pollen allergies are often seasonal, and allergy and asthma symptoms generally occur when the amount of pollen in the air is high.
Seasonal allergy symptoms can include:
- sneezing
- congestion
- itchy eyes
- runny nose
- other symptoms that can make it harder to go about your day-to-day life
Before you make your plans for the day, checking the pollen levels can help you avoid allergy and asthma symptoms or be prepared to manage them.
