Peak pollen times are usually between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Get up-to-date pollen information for your area at our website (via pollen.com widget) Take medications at least 30 minutes prior to outdoor activity. Consult with an allergist/immunologist to ensure medications are helping you and notify an allergist/immunologist when reactions to medications occur Shut windows in your house on days pollen counts are high. Avoid using windows or fans that may draw pollen inside Wash bedding weekly in hot water Dry laundry indoors. Sheets hanging on an outside line are an easy target for blowing pollen Shower and wash your hair before bedpollen can collect Keep pets off of furniture and out of the bedroom.
