"The risk of allergy will be low for other flowering herbaceous plants (plantain and sorrel) and for oak pollen. Pinaceae pollen (pine, fir, spruce…) may yellow exterior surfaces but they are not allergenic. Linden trees begin flowering and can cause symptoms near them. A word of advice: don't stay under a lime tree!", warns the R.N.S.A.

If you suffer from allergies, it is therefore advisable to rinse your hair in the evening, air it out for at least 10 minutes a day before getting up and after sunset. It is also better to avoid outdoor sporting activities which lead to overexposure to pollen.
