In brief

The high-season for grass pollen (Poaceae) is approaching its end. Concentrations are expected to gradually decrease over the coming weeks. Nevertheless, even though pollen emissions have significantly declined, episodes of heat can promote resuspension phenomena, thereby maintaining their residual presence in the air. People allergic to grass pollen are therefore advised to continue precautionary measures until the effective end of the season, generally expected between late July and early August.

At the same time, the summer period is characterized by high concentrations of fungal spores, particularly Cladosporium and Alternaria. These molds can represent a significant source of allergens for sensitized individuals. It is therefore recommended to adopt appropriate preventive measures to limit exposure.

Good to know

  • A few useful recommendations: avoid outdoor activities, wear sun glasses, do not dry linen outside, rinse your nose regularly, wash your hair before going to sleep.

  • Typical allergy symptoms such as runny nose, cough or shortness of breath (in case of asthma) can easily be mistaken for a cold, flu or coronavirus infection. However, fever and body aches should be given special attention as they might be caused by viral infection. It is recommended to call your general practitioner in case of doubt.

  • The standardized pollen detection technique allows retrospective measurement of the levels from samples taken the day before. Samples are analyzed manually during the working days by optical microscopy.
