Itchy noses, watery eyes and sneezing… It’s the return of pollen allergies with the arrival of spring. Anna and Clémence, 13 years old, ask their questions on this subject to Sophie Silcret-Grieu, allergist and member of the Asthma & Allergies association.
Anna wants to know what pollen is. “How do you know if you are allergic to pollen?“, continues the young girl.
“Do many people have this type of allergy?“, asks Clémence. She also wants to know how allergies are treated and if there are several ways to achieve this. Clémence would also like to know if there are pollens “more allergenic” that others. “Are there weather conditions that favor allergies?“, continues the young journalist.
