Pollens are fine, powdery grains released from plants to help fertilize other plants.
Each type of plant makes its own pollen. When the pollen you're allergic to is in the air, you might feel worse.
Different types of plants pollinate during different times of year, and it's helpful to know this pattern.
Trees release pollen in the spring, grasses in the summer, and weeds in the fall.
There are ways to limit your exposure to pollen, including:
-Limit your time outdoors
-Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from pollen
-Try a mask or other barrier to filter the air
-Change your clothes when you return home for the day
-Use the AC instead of opening windows
-Don't mow if you're allergic to grass, or wear a mask if you must
-Dry laundry inside
-Bathe before bed to rinse off any pollen
