Allergy sufferers warned about exacerbations due to warming in Moscow

A sharp increase in the amount of pollen in the air due to warming in Moscow next week may cause an exacerbation of allergic rhinitis and bronchial asthma in allergy sufferers. Dmitry Karpenko, Candidate of Medical Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of Polyclinic Therapy at the Institute of Clinical Medicine at Pirogov University, warned about this on Friday, April 11.

"It should be assumed that plants will quickly respond to warming with intense flowering followed by pronounced pollen production. An increase in pollen concentration will correlate with the severity of symptoms in allergy sufferers," the specialist told the Moscow City News agency.

Karpenko added that allergy sufferers should spend as little time outside as possible in the morning during this period, as pollen concentrations reach peak levels at this time.
