Chestnut pollen is most prevalent in the air during the spring and summer seasons. Therefore, if you have a chestnut pollen allergy, it's best to stay indoors as much as possible. If you can't avoid going outside, try to do so when pollen counts are lower, such as later in the afternoon or after a rainfall.
Pollen can cling to your clothes, skin, and hair. If you've been outside during the pollen season, it's a good idea to change your clothes as soon as you get home. You should also try to shower and wash your hair regularly to remove any pollen that's accumulated.
Equip your home with high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters. These air filters can remove airborne particles, including pollen, from the air, and help to keep your indoor environment clean. Regularly clean or replace the filters to keep them working efficiently.
If you can't avoid pollen completely and are experiencing symptoms, over-the-counter or prescribed medication can help. Antihistamines, nasal sprays, eye drops, and corticosteroids can all alleviate allergy symptoms. It's always recommended to consult with your doctor about which medications are best for you.
