About one in five individuals is allergic to pollen, with grass being the primary trigger, especially during the early summer peak season. The warm weather in 2024 and 2025 has created optimal conditions for birch pollen, exacerbating allergy symptoms. Urban areas may have lower pollen counts, but pollution can worsen reactions. Climate change may extend the pollen season and heighten the prevalence of pollen. Although there is no cure for hay fever, appropriate medications can alleviate symptoms.
