Why pollen is so important

Ah, the Spring... finally out into the sun again, the flowers blooming and the birds chirping - couldn't be more beautiful. But then it comes back, this tiny enemy that sometimes spoils the joy of spring for us: the pollen. Maybe you've already noticed it - that golden mist that floats in the air when you walk through the park. It's nice to look at, but for many of us it's more of a nightmare. 😬

As an allergy sufferer, pollen is a real nuisance. The sneezing doesn't stop at all, the eyes are red and itchy, and the nose runs as if a waterfall were rushing through the body. Oh, how I know it! And the question that keeps on our minds: When will the pollen finally stop? Anyone who asks themselves this question is usually in the middle of the season and counts every day until the "end" of the pollen season. 🙄

But here's the thing: Even if pollen is a real nerve thing for us, without it the world would somehow be less alive. All the pollen that floats in the air ensures that plants can reproduce. Without this pollination, there would be no colorful flowers, no delicious apples and no bees flying from flower to flower. So it's somehow a small miracle what's happening there - even if we allergy sufferers like to forget it when the symptoms spoil our spring. 🌸🐝

So, yes, pollen has its raison d'être. But if you're one of those who regularly deal with the question "When will the pollen finally be over?", you've come to the right place. In this blog, we want to help you get through spring despite the pollen count. We explain what pollen really is, what pollen allergy symptoms can occur and what you can do to make the pollen season a little more bearable. And of course, we'll also tell you when you can finally take a deep breath again without constantly rummaging through tissues. 😊

Pollen news: What will the pollen count look like in 2025?

So spring is in full swing and the pollen is flying around our ears. But what exactly happens there? Why is pollen 2025 really starting to rise into our noses right now? 🤧

Well, there are a few things you should definitely know if you want to adjust to the pollen season. Here is a small overview so that you can have a better grip on the pollen count:

1. Pollen altitude: Depending on the weather, the pollen count may be heavier than usual this year. Especially in the months of April and May, experts expect a more intense pollen count. So, if you are sensitive, you should prepare now.

2. Which pollen flies particularly strongly?: In 2025, birch pollen and alder pollen in particular will play a major role. The trees bloom early and release masses of pollen into the air. Anyone who reacts to this should keep an eye on the pollen calendar to know exactly when the load is particularly high.

3. How long does the season last?: Normally, the pollen count begins in March and lasts until June. In warmer years, the season may start earlier or last longer. So if you want to know when the pollen will stop, a look at the calendar will help. In mild temperatures, the symptoms can also last longer.

4. Climate change and pollen count: Another factor that influences pollen count is climate change. Higher temperatures cause trees and plants to bloom earlier, which makes the pollen count more intense and longer overall. This means that the allergy period is unlikely to get any shorter in the coming years.

So if you want to know what's in bloom and which pollen affects you the most, it helps to take a look every now and then.
