To reduce exposure to grass pollen, it is recommended to avoid outdoor activities during the pollination season, use air filters, and frequently wash clothes and hair. In severe cases, antihistamines or immunotherapy may be necessary.
Side effects of pollen exposure may include worsening of asthma or other respiratory conditions. It is important to consult a doctor if symptoms become severe or persist.
People allergic to grass pollen should monitor pollen forecasts and take preventive measures to reduce discomfort.
