Spring on the march: early bloomers pollen can trigger allergies!

Spring, the time of the flowering plants, also brings with it the feared allergy season for many people. According to the Austrian pollen information service, the pollen load is currently particularly high, especially through the pollen varieties of the hazel and the alder. These two types of tree currently dominate the air, while the ash is also on the rise. Markus Berger, head of the pollen information service, explains that in warm regions even local symptoms can occur due to ash pollen. In spring, the situation is increasingly tense because the birch will soon reach her willingness to bloom. In many areas of Lower Austria, this could already be the case in the second half of March, as Noe.orf.at reports.

Symptoms and treatment options

The ash pollen allergy is one of the typical early bloomer allergies, the high season of which ranges from March to May. Allergy sufferers react to the pollen of the ash with symptoms such as ongoing, itchy noses, tearful eyes and frequent sneezes. For some of those affected, these allergens are even causing asthma attacks, explains 24vita.de. It is particularly important that those affected keep an eye on the pollen load to alleviate their symptoms. The pollen flight calendar and the weather forecast could provide valuable information.

In addition to avoiding allergens, there are medication to relieve the symptoms. Anti -allergics, such as eye drops and tablets, are often used. In more severe cases, hyposensitization can be considered, in which the body is gradually used to the allergy trigger. Allergists recommend seeing a doctor at the first sign of an allergy to initiate the right diagnosis and therapy. Innovative and preventive, the early diagnosis also means that the quality of life of those affected can also be improved sustainably.

Spring can thus become a challenge for allergy sufferers. However, they are better prepared with the awareness of pollen type and pollution as well as the available treatment options. Anyone who is informed about the exact weather conditions and pollen situation can act accordingly and improve their everyday life, as the current recommendations of experts suggest.
