Finally comes the spring, with mild temperatures – also hay fever patients can clearly see that the pollen season is in full swing. Particularly, the birch at the beginning of April to be pollen many to load. The chamber of pharmacists of Bremen declared, which means, now against itchy eyes and sneezing attacks help.
