Does anyone have hay fever tips (for Berlin) outside of getting an air purifier? do I have to live with the windows closed at all time?

London, Brooklyn, Portland were all fine for me, but pollens in Berlin springs are the bane of my existence. :(

@muan I’ve found windows closed and an air purifier to be the only way. The springtime pollen here is bonkers. :(
@awfulwoman aw ok. Bye bye cool air.
@muan Tell me about it - I live in the attic of an Altbau. 😭
@muan this plus carefully overdosing on modern nasal spray antihistamines. Takes three days to set in, but the diffenece is substantial. Happy to recommend brands and dosages.
@janl ah ok. I’ve been upgraded to chronic rhinitis so have a prescription spray. :(
@muan I’m sorry. I’ve developed airing+filtering strategies that go room-by-room when I am not in that room to make sure I get fresh and filtered air during the day somehow, but it is a bit of a thing
@janl wow sounds involved. Is there not window screen type of solutions?

@muan there are, but I am fighting the additional pests of smoking neighbours and traffic Feinstaub.

It is not too involved for the brnefits (CO2/air exchange, cooldown) for opening windows and moving the filter a fee times.

@muan it's been better for me this year, I wonder if my body has gotten used to it. There's also sprays you can buy over the counter, that has worked well for me as well. But it was never too serious for me.
@chris oh that lessens my anxiety somewhat. My reactions have been worsening but we will see how it is this time around. Thanks!
