Today, the 7th (Tuesday), it will be sunny during the day and the air will be dry. As the temperature rises, pollen is expected to scatter widely from Kyushu to the Kanto region. Be careful not to bring pollen into the house not only when you go out, but also when you come home.
Mass scattering from Kyushu to Kanto
Today, the 7th (Tuesday), it will be mostly sunny during the day and the air will be dry. Temperatures will rise with the sunshine, and it is expected that spring will be in full swing in various places. Due to the favorable conditions for pollen to fly, such as “sunny”, “dry”, and “increase in temperature”, the scattering of pollen is likely to be “extremely high” from Kyushu to Kanto. Hokuriku and Tohoku are expected to be “low” or “slightly high”, but if you have hay fever, please do not let your guard down and take proper measures.
The peak of cedar pollen dispersal will continue through the end of this month. Also, there are places where cypress pollen is starting to fly. This season, the pollen count is expected to be higher than in the previous season, so even those who have had weak symptoms in the past should take all possible precautions.
Measures against pollen when going out
To alleviate the symptoms of hay fever, it is important to avoid pollen as much as possible.
① If possible, goggle-type glasses (glasses with a protective cover) are recommended, but even just wearing regular glasses can be a countermeasure against pollen. Experimental results show that the amount of pollen entering the eyes is reduced by about 40% even with normal glasses, and the amount of pollen entering the eyes is reduced by about 65% with glasses with protective covers, compared to when glasses are not used. there is.
② By using a mask, you can reduce the amount of pollen you inhale from about 1/3 to 1/6. If there is a gap between the face and the mask, pollen will enter from there, so it is important to choose a mask that fits your face as much as possible. In addition, it is known that applying gauze to the inside of the mask (inner mask) further reduces pollen entering the nose.
③ When you go out, choose a jacket with a smooth surface. Wearing a wide-brimmed hat will also help reduce the amount of pollen that collects. If you have long hair, just tying it up is effective.
Measures against pollen when returning home
When you return home, it is important not to bring pollen on your body indoors. Even when ventilating, try to keep pollen out of the room as much as possible.
① Before entering the room, brush off the pollen on your clothes and hair. After returning home, it is also recommended to gargle and wash your face to remove pollen from your throat and pollen on your face. On days when a large amount of pollen is expected to fly, avoid drying laundry and futons outside as much as possible.
② When ventilating, open the window about 10 cm wide and use lace curtains to reduce the amount of pollen entering the room to about 1/4 compared to when the room is fully open. There is also experimental evidence that it is possible. It doesn’t matter how wide you open the window, so let’s prevent pollen while ventilating as much as possible.
③ A large amount of pollen may be attached to the floor, curtains, etc. Use a wet rag or mop to wipe clean. It is recommended to wash the curtains regularly.
