Rospotrebnadzor advises individuals experiencing allergy symptoms, such as nasal congestion and sneezing without fever during poplar flowering season, to seek medical advice and avoid self-medication. The agency has issued guidelines to minimize contact with allergens and alleviate symptoms during this period.

To reduce exposure, limit outdoor time, especially in dry, hot, and windy weather when fluff levels are high. It’s also important to perform wet cleaning up to three times a day and use mosquito nets to prevent fluff from entering buildings by closing windows.

Upon returning home, thoroughly wash or shower and rinse the nasal passages. Regularly change and wash clothes and bed linen frequently.

Regular cleaning and maintenance of ventilation systems are also essential. In the workplace, wipe down office equipment regularly, as it accumulates dust.
