- Stay indoors on high pollen count days, especially during early morning and late afternoon when pollen release peaks.
- Use air purifiers and keep windows closed to reduce indoor pollen levels.
- Wear sunglasses and a hat to minimize pollen contact with eyes and hair when outdoors.
- Shower and change clothes after spending time outside to remove pollen.
