What can you do to reduce exposure:-
- Avoid large grassy areas like parks and fields
- Wash your hands after gardening
- Avoid going outdoors in the peak pollen periods of early morning and late afternoon
- When driving, shut the windows
- Have a shower or bath and wash your hair after you have been outside
- Wear wrap-around sunglasses
- Use air filters in the home and car
- Avoid strong perfumes
- Give up smoking and smoky atmospheres
