Spring Allergy: Dangers for Drivers

With the arrival of spring, many drivers face pollinosis or seasonal allergic rhinitis, which can negatively affect road safety. Allergy symptoms—runny nose, sneezing, itchy and watery eyes, nasal congestion, and cough—reduce driver concentration and reaction speed. Additionally, some antihistamine medications may cause drowsiness, posing an extra risk while driving.​

Precautionary measures:

Consultation with a specialist: It is advisable to consult an allergist for accurate diagnosis and selection of safe treatment.​

Reducing contact with allergens: Installing quality filters in the car's ventilation system, keeping windows closed during flowering periods, and changing clothes, washing the face and eyes after being outdoors can help reduce pollen exposure.
