Pollen Allergy
· Pollen counts highest early morning during warm summer months of June and July
· Pollen counts lowest indoors, areas of low vegetation, seaside and mountainous areas
· Try to avoid countryside when counts are high, stay away from large grassy areas, particularly long grass
· Keep garden lawn short (someone else should mow it!)
· KEEP YOUR BEDROOM WINDOW SHUT AT NIGHT. IF IT IS VERY HOT, A SCREEN MADE OF A FEW LAYERS OF GAUZE WILL KEEP POLLEN OUT
· KEEP YOUR WINDOW SHUT WHEN DRIVING
· Remember pollens may settle on any service, leaves on a hedge, garden furniture, your clothes, even your dog! Shake your washing when bringing it in from the line.
· It may be helpful to wear sunglasses to limit the amount of air borne pollen getting into your eyes.
