What Are Seasonal Allergies:Seasonal allergies are an inflammatory reaction to something in the environment that causes unpleasant symptoms, such as sniffles, sneezes, and swollen sinuses. If you’re predisposed to allergies, your body mass-produces antibodies called immunoglobulin E resulting in symptoms we just know this time of year to be “ALLERGIES”
Here are some of the typical causes of the allergy symptoms you can experience each season:
- Ragweed is a huge portion of all pollen allergies, affecting approximately 35 million Americans during the peak ragweed season.
- Dust is another huge cause of allergies in people as there are many places for those pesky little dust mites to hide out in your carpets as well as the bed you sleep in.
- Your own pets can be causing your allergy symptoms to flair up, as the dander enters the air inside your home.
