Seasonal Allergy

Like other types of allergies, seasonal allergy develops, when the body’s immune system overreacts to something in the environment, usually during the spring season.

Most people have a seasonal allergy in springtime but why? The answer is inside you when your immune system overreacts to outdoor allergens, such as pollen and dust.

An allergen is something that triggers an allergic response.

The most common allergens are pollens from plants, such as weeds, grass, and trees.

Spring means grass growing, flowers blooming trees growing new leaves, but if you get allergies, this season of new life probably inspires more dread than joy.

Seasonal allergies are also called “hay fever“, or allergic rhinitis. hay fever, like its name, comes in the season of hay harvesting.

Historically, this activity comes before the summer season, the spring season in India is from Feb to Mar, during which people get to see the symptoms.

However, there are some other allergies such as skin and eye infections that you can get throughout the year.

Allergy to (cold air) may occur even before the arrival of winter, but it stops when the full winter comes. but why do many people get allergies at the time of spring?

Various plants such as weeds, grass, and trees grow pollen in large amounts during spring and blow away, causing them to enter your nose and cause an allergic reaction.

Your allergy depends on, where you stay, which can cause you to experience allergies in more than one season and you may also react to Indoor allergies for a variety of reasons.

Causes of Seasonal Allergies

One of the most common allergies is hay fever is caused by pollen or dust that affects the eyes and nose. causing a runny nose, watery eyes, and sore throat.

A common trigger of hay fever varies from one season to another.

Spring

The tree is responsible for allergies in most of the spring. Pollen from the tree can cause spring allergies in many people.

Other allergenic trees in India include congress grass, Mesquite, Doob grass, coconut tree, and raintree.

Summer

During summer, the mowing season is most common for causing allergies.

According to many studies, grass is the most common trigger for people with hay fever. Such as Ryegrass, Timothy, and certain grasses.

Monsoon

It includes the months of July and August. as per the Hindu calendar. but the monsoon season is mainly known for its spate of skin allergies.

Overall, rain is good if you have a pollen allergy.

If the amount of pollen and weed pollen is high, the drops collide with the ground and break a bunch of pollen into small particles, which can cause a sudden increase in symptoms of allergy and allergic asthma during a rain shower.

Winter

It’s very likely for people to mistake an allergic reaction for a cold considering it is winter.

If you’re prone to seasonal allergies, you may also react to indoor allergens, such as mould, pet dander, mouse, and just particles.

Most outdoor allergens are dormant during winter. So stay alert and observe reactions to indoor allergens.

Symptoms of Allergy

Symptoms of seasonal allergy range from mild to high, but if you are not good take care of yourself. and the most common signs/symptoms include:

• Watery eyes: In such a situation, you can see problems such as eye irritation and watery eyes as I say before.

• Runny or stuffy nose: At this time, you can face a runny nose that could be frequent, or may continue sneezing.

• Sore throat: a sore throat can be quite disturbing while presenting, or meeting. and sore throat could be a COVID-19 symptom please take care of yourself.
