An allergy (allergic rhinitis) that occurs in a particular season, and is more commonly known as hay fever.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hay fever occurs when your immune systemor overreacts to an outside allergen<\/strong>such as pollen.<\/p>\n

Pollen is one of the most common allergens<\/p>\n

What is an allergen?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

An allergen is something that triggers an allergic response. The most common allergens are, as we have already said, the pollen of those plants that are pollinated through the wind, such as trees, grasses and weeds. In contrast, pollen from insect-pollinated plants is too heavy to remain airborne for long and it is less likely to trigger an allergic reaction.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why is it called hay fever?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Hay fever gets its name from the hay-cutting season. Historically, this activity occurred in the summer months, approximately at the same time that many people were experiencing symptoms.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It also happens that seasonal allergies are less common during the winter, but it is possible to experience allergic rhinitis throughout the year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Different plants emit their respective pollens at different times, not just in spring or summer. Depending on your allergy triggers and where you live, you may experience hay fever in more than one season. You can also react to some indoor allergens, such as mold or pet dander.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hay fever occurs when your immune system identifies an airborne substance that is usually harmless<\/strong> but he understands it as dangerous. Then your immune system responds to that substance, or allergen, by releasing histamines and other chemicals into your bloodstream. Those chemicals produce the symptoms of an allergic reaction.<\/strong><\/p>\n

These are the symptoms, causes and treatment of seasonal allergies<\/p>\n

Seasonal allergy triggers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As we noted above the common triggers of hay fever vary from season to season, let’s review one by one:<\/h3>\n

For that reason, it is that the trees<\/strong> Are responsible for most spring seasonal allergies.<\/strong> The birch<\/strong> it is one of the most common in northern latitudes, where many people with hay fever react to its pollen.

Most of them grow in temperate regions of North and South America<\/strong>. They are invasive plants difficult to control. Ragweed pollen is a very common allergen, and ragweed allergy symptoms can be especially severe.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Other plants that drop their pollen in the fall include nettles, mugwort, sorrel, fat chickens and bananas.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Winter<\/strong><\/h2>\n

For the winter, most outdoor allergens remain inactive<\/strong>. As a result, cold weather brings relief to many people with hay fever. But it also means more people are spending time indoors. If you are prone to seasonal allergies, you may also react to indoor allergens, such as mold, pet dander, dust mites, or cockroaches.<\/strong><\/p>\n
