The simplest way to avoid an allergy is to limit exposure to the allergen. If you know walnut pollen is in the air because it's walnut pollination season usually between April and June, try to stay indoors whenever possible, especially during windy or stormy weather when pollen may be in abundance in the air.
If you have to go outside during the peak of walnut pollination season, consider wearing sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat to help keep pollen away from your eyes and face. A dust mask can be an effective tool if you're doing outdoor tasks like gardening or mowing the lawn. Meanwhile, wearing gloves can prevent pollen from sticking to your hands.
Maintaining a clean indoor environment can help reduce your exposure to walnut pollen. Frequent dusting and vacuuming can collect and eliminate any pollen that might have entered your home. Also, use an air purifier with a HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter to trap airborne pollen.
In severe cases of walnut pollen allergies, medication is necessary to manage symptoms. Antihistamines and decongestants can provide immediate relief from allergic reactions. For long-term relief, you might need to consider immunotherapy, or allergy shots. It involves injecting small doses of walnut pollen to desensitize your immune system to the allergen.
