Common Causes For Seasonal AllergiesSeasonal Allergies Due To Pollen And Dust Pollen is one of the main causes of seasonal allergies as well as dust and mold spores. These are common occurrences during spring and summer as well as during fall. The pollen from plants can cause serious hay fever in some individuals who are highly sensitive to the allergens they contain. Pollen tends to become airborne when the right season comes and these cause allergic reactions in individuals. There is actually little that you can do about being allergic to pollen, dust and mold spores. Seasonal allergies are usually controlled and not eliminated with the use of antihistamines. Although, not all areas of the city may have pollen, mold spores or dust, chances are, whenever you go around the city, you will encounter airborne mold spores, pollen and dust separately. If you are sensitive to any of these allergens, then you are highly likely to have an allergic reaction. What To Expect From Seasonal Allergies Seasonal allergies usually manifest themselves as sneezing, runny noses, itchy eyes and other allergic rhinitis symptoms. You might initially think that you have a cold but actually there is a great deal of difference between the two. Seasonal allergies are usually not accompanied by fever whereas a cold is and a cold usually lasts for around 10 days compared to seasonal allergies that last for as long as you are exposed to the allergens. Seasonal allergies also react well to antihistamines whereas colds to decongestants. Allergies that rely on seasons also occur during summer, spring and fall compared to a cold that usually occur during winter. Allergies are also dependent on the individual's reaction to allergens while colds can be transmitted from one person to another. As stated earlier, these kinds of allergies react well to antihistamines. Some may need stronger medication to control but the key is to lessen your exposure to the allergens. Allergens updates are also posted by the government to help out those who are sensitive to hay fever and other allergens. |
