Controlling Spring Allergies
Apr 01, 2023

As Oak season is in full swing, everything has been covered in yellow pollen lately. With the high pollen counts of the trees and grasses, this can be a particularly irritating time of year for allergy symptoms.



Here are some tips to help you take control of your spring allergies:

Avoid outdoor activities during high pollen count times:

Early morning is when pollen counts are highest. Try to limit outdoor activities during these times and shower and change after spending time outdoors.


Keep your windows closed:

To prevent pollen from entering your car and home, keep your windows closed. You can also use recirculation mode on your car's AC to keep outdoor allergens out.


Keep indoor air clean.

High-efficiency particulate air filters (HEPA) help reduce the amount of pollen inside your home. They can be installed in heating and air conditioning units, portable air purifiers, and vacuums.


Be proactive.

Use your preventive and controller medicines as prescribed, even if you feel alright. These measures can help minimize the impact of allergies on your daily life.


Seek expert advice.

Keep an eye on weather conditions, which can contribute to the severity of allergy and asthma symptoms. Follow daily pollen counts on STAAMP's social media and website.
