A member asked:
Could seasonal allergies occur even when you're not outside?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Pollen is so small that it can blow through window screens and be tracked indoors by persons, pets and when the doors are opened. Clothes dried on a clothesline will collect pollen and may trigger symptoms when worn. Even though the majority of time is spent indoors, it doesn't take much pollen to trigger an allergic reaction.
