The spring and summer seasons in New Hampshire can be very difficult for those with allergies. Tree and grass pollens can trigger a variety of symptoms including itchy eyes, runny nose, sneezing, itching, watery eyes, skin irritation, nasal congestion, and headaches.
Grass Pollen: June/Kentucky Blue, Timothy, Orchard and Rye begin pollinating in May and peak in the first few weeks of June. This is the time to take stock of your outdoor exposure and monitor your allergy tracker app to avoid further irritation.
This is also the time when weed pollens can start to appear, particularly English plantain and lamb’s quarter. These are the most common weeds that trigger an allergic reaction.
These plants are usually found growing in the landscape at the same time as trees and grasses, so it is important to watch for their spores when you’re out and about.
