Spring is here, and while it’s the season for beautiful blooms and warmer weather, it’s also the time for pollen allergies. Whether it’s constant sneezing, runny nose, or itchy eyes, allergies can often put a dampener on your day.
But, if you’ve tried every method of fighting allergy season (with no luck) — you may want to look at your indoor plants. Interestingly, there are certain flowering plants that release high pollen levels into your home, which can trigger and worsen your hayfever/allergy symptoms. In addition, touching parts of a plant could cause allergic reactions, caused by certain liquids or sap from various species. That’s why it’s advisable to wear one of the best gardening gloves when it comes to handling a plant when using the best pruning shears or even repotting — especially if you’re prone to allergies.
