Pollen levels in the air in May 2025: impact on allergy sufferers
One of Russia's main allergens, birch, began to bloom around April 19th. This period usually lasts about 20-25 days, but may depend on weather conditions.
Since the flowering will continue for some time, there are some tips on how to survive it most calmly.:
— you can purchase special glasses and nose filters. If it is not possible to buy them, you can use sunglasses and a mask that will reduce the severity of allergies.;
— it is useful to monitor pollen monitoring in order to adjust outdoor activities and drug use.;
— keep the windows closed when traveling by car.;
— upon returning home, you need to change clothes and take a shower, rinse your mouth, as well as rinse your eyes, nose and hair.;
— it is better to use air conditioning at home and not open the windows for ventilation.;
— carry out frequent wet cleaning;
— avoid drying clothes on the balcony or on a clothesline outside;
— ventilate the apartment infrequently, preferably in the evening, in calm weather or after prolonged rain;
— it is better to shorten walks, but if there is no such possibility, it is preferable to take them in the evening, because most of the trees "dust" in the morning.
There are also various allergy medications available: antihistamine pills, nasal sprays, and eye drops. However, it is important to remember that before using any medications, you need to consult with a specialist who will help you choose the best remedies and dosages. You should not self-medicate.
Atmospheric pressure in May 2025: human impact
Information about atmospheric pressure always goes side by side with the weather forecast, but not everyone knows what effect it can have on a person. Values of approximately 740-750 mmHg are considered normal, however, depending on a specific location, they may fluctuate.
So, healthy people do not feel pressure drops, but some may complain, for example, about its elevated values and poor health because of this. It is believed that people with chronic diseases feel the influence of atmospheric pressure. Depending on its fall or upward jump, they may experience weakness, headache and dizziness, drowsiness, general deterioration of well-being, and other symptoms.
As with allergies, it is better not to self-medicate, but to visit a doctor if you notice changes in your condition depending on atmospheric pressure. Among the available and non-harmful means, doctors distinguish contrast shower, drinking, drinking enough water, and exercising.
