Good to know

  • 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.

 

  • Because of cross-allergy between the various Betulaceae species ( alder, hazel, birch and hornbeam), people sensitized to birch pollen may suffer from allergy symptoms when hazel and alder pollen counts are high !
