They start from the middle and the end of February to April, with the flowering of trees, wood pollen - birch, followed by flowering of grasses, grass pollen - from May to July. "The most common allergies are allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, often as rhinoconjunctivitis (with symptoms from the eyes and nose) and extremely important - bronchial asthma," says Dr. Uzunov.
