The season of grasses of grasses which usually extends from May to July with a peak during the month of June began, said Sciensano in a press release on Tuesday. Patients generally feel the first symptoms when the 50 grains per cube meter is exceeded. The evolution of these concentrations can be followed on the site of the Belgian surveillance network of pollens and fungal spores, Airalergy.
Grasses, birch, oak … What do you know about allergies?
Symptoms of an allergy to pollen can be similar to those of other diseases such as COVVI-19, colds or flu. If the allergy can cause sneezing, redness in the eyes, a size of the nose and sinuses to see a loss of taste and smell, it does not cause fever or muscle pain, recalls Sciensano. Symptoms appear upon exposure to the allergen and can last for several weeks. Sciensano therefore invites patients with doubt about their state of health, suffering from allergies that require background treatment or asthma, to consult their general practitioner or allergist.
