Tips for Reducing Pollen Exposure

To help lessen your exposure to pollen:

• Schedule outdoor activities for times when pollen counts are lower, typically later in the day.
• Avoid being outdoors on windy days or immediately after high pollen counts.
• Shower and change clothes after outdoor exposure to remove pollen.
• Keep your living spaces pollen-free by using HEPA filters and keeping windows and doors closed.
• Stay informed with local pollen forecasts to better plan both outdoor and indoor activities.
