Tiny particles are released from grasses, weeds, and trees each fall, summer, and spring. Known as pollen, these particles hitch rides on currents of air. Although many of the pollens never reach their targets, their mission remains the same – to fertilize parts of other plants.
If most of them don’t reach their targets then where do they go?
They enter human noses and throats and trigger a type of seasonal allergic rhinitis known as pollen allergy, which, depending on the season in which they symptoms occur, is known to many people as rose fever or hay fever.
Pollen is one of the most widespread of all the things that can cause allergy. Most of the allergy causing animals, drugs, or foods can be kept away from to a great degree; even household dust and insects are avoidable. There is no easy way to escape from windborne pollen other than staying indoors when the pollen count is high; most of the times even that may not help.
Sensitivities to other troublemakers that are present throughout the year, such as dust mites are often developed by people suffering from pollen allergies. The sneezing season has no limit for these sufferers of pollen allergies. As distinguished from seasonal allergic rhinitis, throughout the year airborne allergens cause perennial allergic rhinitis.
Pollen Allergy Treatment:
Three options are available when it comes to treating pollen allergy. They are:
- Avoidance of allergen
- Medication to relieve symptoms
- Immunotherapy or inject treatments commonly known as allergy shots
In spite of the fact that there is no cure for pollen allergy, one of the above treatment options or a combination of them can provide various degrees of relief from pollen allergy symptoms.
