[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Seasonal allergies can vary greatly for different people. Common symptoms experienced by individuals include eye irritation, watery eyes, nasal congestion, and runny nose. More severe symptoms, such as difficulty breathing and/or anaphylactic reaction, can occur in more serious instances of allergic responses. If these severe reactions occur, an individual should seek immediate medical care. For more mild, seasonal symptoms, these can easily be managed with more conservative treatments. A few of the most common seasonal allergy triggers include:
- pollen
- house dust mites
- mold
- pet hairs/dander
- insect stings
- latex
- certain foods and medication
Common Seasonal Allergy Triggers
Pollen
Most people with seasonal allergies are allergic to some type of pollen. According to the National Institutes of Health, 35 million Americans suffer from seasonal allergies, and a large proportion of these suffer from allergies to pollen. Allergy-causing pollens from trees such as oak, elm, maple, alder, birch, juniper and olive saturate the air in the spring months.
Ragweed
Pollen from grasses such as Bermuda, timothy, sweet vernal, orchard and Johnson grass cause summer allergies, while ragweed tends to produce and release pollen during the fall. Allergies to ragweed pollen are common, with 10 to 20 percent of Americans suffering from this allergy. Ragweed is also especially common in the Eastern and Midwest states, and the rates of allergies to this type of pollen are consequently higher among these populations.
Mold
While mold typically grows more during the warm and humid summer months, it can be present in homes throughout the year. Mold flourishes in warm, wet environments such as in basements, kitchens, and bathrooms. It can also grow in or on carpets and upholstery. Keeping your home well ventilated and dry, especially during the summer, will help control allergic reactions to mold.
Seasonal Allergy Management and Treatment
Know your triggers. Although you may know you are allergic to one trigger such as pollens, there may be other substances that you are not aware of. More than two-thirds of springtime allergy sufferers have year-round symptoms, suggesting that it may not only be pollen triggering your allergy symptoms. If needed, a medical provider specializing in allergy symptoms may recommend an individual undergo special allergy testing to determine the exact trigger of allergy symptoms. Speak with your medical provider if you feel your symptoms are uncontrolled and interfering with your daily activities to see if this would be appropriate for you.
