So, it's that time of the year again - pollen season. And for those of us who are allergic to pollen, it can be a real hassle. If you find yourself constantly sneezing, sniffling, or battling itchy eyes whenever you step outside, don't worry, here are 5 easy ways to  protect yourself if you are allergic to pollen.

Check the pollen forecast: Before you step out, take a quick look at the pollen forecast for the day. This way, you can plan your outdoor activities when pollen levels are lower.

Try Nasal Rinse: Nasal rinses can help flush out pollen and other allergens from your nasal passages, providing relief from congestion and irritation.

Keep windows closed: As tempting as it is to let in the fresh air, keeping your windows closed, especially during high pollen count days, can help minimise your exposure.

Shower and change clothes after being outdoors: When you come back inside after spending time outside, take a quick shower and change into fresh clothes to wash away any pollen that may have accumulated on your skin and clothes.

Use air purifiers: Investing in a good air purifier for your home can help remove pollen particles from the air, making it easier for you to breathe indoors.

If your allergies are severe or not well-controlled always reach out to a doctor.
