A huge set of aeroallergens – pollen of various plants and mushroom spores – is waiting for us outside. Pollen-sensitive persons encounter problems such as nasal congestion, sneezing, or itchy eyes. There are several ways to control the strength of impact. This depends not only on the measures taken in living premises but also on the person’s lifestyle, habits or intensity of being outdoors.
When there is a lot of pollen in the air, one can avoid unpleasant contact with plant pollen allergens by limiting outdoor activities. Another less reliable way is to wear a protective mask that withholds part of the allergens and prevents them from getting into the respiratory tract.
