A difficult time - the season of flowering plants - began for Muscovites suffering from allergies. The first to "attack" the unfortunate townspeople began to bloom in some parts of the capital birch.

As told in the Institute of Immunology, it was April-May considered the beginning of the allergic season, since at that time almost all trees blossom. After the birch "on harmfulness" there are alder and hazel. Many also do not always rightly blame the poplar blooming in June for their allergy, although this plant is considered to be low-allergenic. The riddle lies in the fact that cereals such as timothy, fescue, hedgehog and others flourish in parallel. Poplar fluff acts as a peddler of the pollen of these more allergenic plants.

It is interesting that a special influx of patients happens at the institute after the May holidays, when predisposed to allergies the townspeople overeat with shish kebabs, flavored with vinegar, and drink a lot of alcohol, which increases the symptoms of allergies. In the spring, allergists advise such people to completely eliminate from the diet products that have cross-properties with allergens of tree pollen:

fruits (except bananas), nuts (except peanuts), paprika, celery, young potatoes, honey, any alcohol, especially cognac. And during a hike in the bath is not recommended to use brooms.

In addition, in the spring of the year, people at risk of developing a tree pollen allergy should first of all avoid walking from 8am to 2pm when there is an intense release of pollen. Secondly, whenever possible, take shower and wash your hands more often, and wear sunglasses and bury in the eyes and nose special medicus preparations. En.
