The Hague - Post Report Question and Answers
What do people who suffer from environmental or food allergies need to know?
One of my kiddos has a serious food allergy and we've been able to navigate well here for several reasons: 1) everyone speaks English 2) EU requires food labeling and 3) the Dutch are brutally honest - if they don't know if it's safe, they will tell you. For environmental allergies, the spring period is very active. If you have a pollen allergy, bring your Zyrtec. If you have a mold allergy, you'll want to be very careful about your house given the age of most homes and the presence of water. - Mar 2025

Some pollen issues year round but nothing out of the ordinary. - Jan 2019
Mold can be an issue. I have terrible pollen allergies and no problems yet but it sometimes take a couple years for me to really start suffering. If you're unsure, bring your own Benadryl because they do not sell it here. - Feb 2015
