In the spring, allergens such as pollen in the air increase, so people with allergies are more likely to get sick.
Some people will ask, if you don't touch the bright and beautiful flowers, will you be fine? In fact, the "flowers" that cause allergic rhinitis are often bland and wind-borne pollen "wind flowers", such as cypresses, poplars, willows, elms, etc.
Spring is the season when many trees begin to pollinate, and the concentration of pollen increases, and the symptoms of allergic rhinitis, especially those with hay fever, will become prominent.
