What Are Pollen Allergies?

Pollen allergies occur when your immune system overreacts to tiny grains released by plants. More than 45 million Americans suffer from seasonal pollen allergies. For these people, sneezing, runny and congested noses, cold, flu, inflamed sinus are all symptoms they experience during the spring and summer months. Airborne allergens such as pollen are among the most difficult to avoid, especially outdoors, making effective air management strategies essential. In this guide, we’ll explore common pollen allergy types and how solutions like the Airtamer personal air purifier can help you breathe easier.

There are three different types of pollen Allergies that cause allergic reactions. These are grass, tree and weed pollen.

Different Regions Have Different Pollen Counts

Different geographic regions contain different kinds of pollen. Pollen counts indicate the amount of pollen present in the air in a particular time period (usually 24 hours). Pollen counts differ in different weather and different times of the day. For instance, pollen counts are generally higher on warm days and their density is much lower on cooler days.

According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA); Jackson, MS has higher than average pollen. Other cities with high pollen include:

1. Jackson, MS
2. Louisville, KY
3. Oklahoma City, OK
4. Memphis, TN
5. Knoxville, TN

If possible, you can move to where the pollen count is low. Realizing that it is not physically possible for everyone to move so here are few simple tips to help minimize your exposure to pollen allergies:

• Shower frequently
• Limit outdoor activity when the pollen count is lowest (5am to 10am)
• Wash sheets in hot water regularly
• Use a personal air purifier
