Travel during the Needle Grass pollen season can be challenging if you're allergic, yet with care, a breakout can be avoided. Begin by checking pollen forecasts for your destination and travel days. Websites and apps offer daily and even hourly updates. If possible, plan your travel when pollen counts are low.

Pack your allergy medications - antihistamines, corticosteroid nasal sprays, or eye drops, depending on which symptoms you typically experience. Carry more than you think you'll need in case of unexpected heightening of allergy symptoms. If you're on immunotherapy tablets or shots, continue them as prescribed. You could also talk to your doctor about precautionary increased dosage. In severe cases, a short-term course of oral steroids might be recommended.

During your travel, keep doors and windows closed as much as possible to avoid pollen infiltration. Wear sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat to keep pollen away from your eyes and face. Avoid outdoor activities in the early morning and late afternoon when pollen counts are usually highest.

Another tip is washing your hair and changing clothes after being outdoors, as pollen can cling to fabrics and hair. If driving, use air conditioning, and keep windows closed. Consider using a portable high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter in your accommodation for cleaner indoor air.

Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet to keep your immune system performing optimally.

Remember, while it's challenging, it is certainly possible to travel during the Needle Grass pollen season with adequate precautions. For personalized advice, you should always consult your allergist.

Why prevention is more effective than allergy medicine

Exposure therapy:
Train your immune system to fight allergies rather than treat them with medications
Desensitization: Symptoms subside as your body desensitized to allergies reducing or eliminating the need for daily medication
Prevention: Immunotherapy helps prevent and fight allergies at the source
