Grass pollen allergies are caused by the immune system’s reaction to the pollen released by grasses like sweet vernal, orchard grass, common reed, and bent grass. The body mistakenly identifies the pollen as a threat, triggering allergic symptoms.

What are the best ways to avoid grass pollen exposure?

  • 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.

Can grass pollen allergies be treated?

Yes, treatments include antihistamines, nasal sprays, and eye drops to relieve symptoms. Immunotherapy, such as allergy shots or tablets, may also be effective in reducing sensitivity to grass pollen over time.
