It's that time of year again, the sniffling, sneezing, itchy-eye time of year. Pollen is a major trigger for people with allergies, and since it's not springtime without pollen, there's little you can do to avoid it completely.

If pollen gives you a problem, however, you can reduce your exposure to it. WikiHow has a few answers for you, including:

  • Know what you're allergic to and find out when your peak season is.
  • Stay inside on windy days and when the pollen count is high.
  • Use an air conditioner when necessary.
  • Buy a reel lawnmower to reduce exposure while cutting the grass.
  • Wear sunglasses outdoors to keep pollen out of your eyes.
  • Take a shower after working in the yard.
  • See your health provider if your allergies aren't easily controlled.
Believe me, I know that allergy season is no fun. But by being mindful of what you're allergic to and taking care to prevent attacks, you can still enjoy the beautiful spring weather and stay healthy too.
