Biking in this petiod can be a pain for people with pollen allergy.
Do you gave any tip to share? Do you wear a mask? What kind? Anything to protect your eyes?

I would recommend using a weather app/service which also monitors the pollen intensity and avoid high intensity days. Im using Breezy Weather from the F-droid app store.
Also nasal spray/eyedrops before or during the ride helps me a lot, just avoid rubbing your eyes with bare hands. I am using a big single-lense cycling glass to protect my eyes, also good against the wind.
I usually avoid taking tablets as they make me feel drowsy (even the non-drowsy ones)
