Pollen flood 2025: Allergy sufferers have to prepare for bad times!

A new pollen year is approaching, and the biologist Johannes Gepp from Styria warns allergy sufferers: "The number of mast years has thickened!" Said Gepp. For some tree species, it is no longer the case every seven to eleven years, but all one to two years! This has an immediate effect on the people suffering from allergies. According to Gepp, the lack of rain favors the pollen flight: "They are not glued and blown into the air, which means that they can reach the sensitive people even better." Allergy sufferers have to prepare for a tough season, as Orf Styria reported.

explanations of allergies

Harald Reiter from the allergy outpatient clinic in the LKH Graz explains that allergies are an overreaction of the immune system on harmless substances, although the exact reasons for these overreactions have not yet been clarified. The treatment options are diverse, but a healing is not in sight. Symptomatic treatment, for example with eye drops, is recommended, while immunotherapy after the allergy season can offer significant improvements with up to 70 percent promises.

on a different note, the botanist Johannes Christian Vogel, born on May 15, 1963, is known as General Director of the Museum of Natural History in Berlin. He has had a long career that started in Bielefeld and led to Cambridge to the Natural History Museum in London. Vogel is not only a leading scientist, but also a key person in the often complex area of biodiversity and science communication. He has been part of the elite of academic scientists since 2012 and is involved in various committees, which underlines his enormous knowledge and influence in plant research.
