In its last bulletin, the National Aerobiological Surveillance Network (RNSA), indicated that grass pollens will be very widely present in a majority of the territory until June 30.
The West, the Center and the South-West strongly affected
People with allergies will have to take their pain patiently: according to the RNSA, the high heat and the lack of rain allowed the pollens to disperse in the air with greater ease. Many territories have thus been classified in red alert. This is particularly the case in the West, Center and South-West of France. In the North-East and South-East of the territory, the departments are on orange alert.
Only Corsica and the Alpes-Maritimes department are at risk “ way “. The situation can only improve when the rains irrigate the territory. ” Only the onset of a rainy period will be able to relieve allergy sufferers », Indeed explain the authors of this bulletin. ” However, we must be wary, because if the rain washes the sky of pollens, thunderstorms promote respiratory discomfort and asthma attacks. Allergics must remain vigilant. “
Be particularly vigilant
People who are particularly sensitive to pollen must therefore avoid walks in the countryside or near forests for a few days and that they do not hesitate to obtain antihistamine treatments. The National Monitoring Network also noted the significant presence of chestnut, sorrel and plantain pollens., but these pollens ” will not or little bother the allergic “.
In the event of a high concentration of pollen, the risks of hay fever, allergic rhinitis or asthma attacks are indeed very high. It is therefore recommended that people at risk take a number of precautions, such as airing the house in the morning and evening, remembering to close the windows properly when driving in the countryside or even rinse their hair every day. days to get rid of pollens.
