Episode 22 - Seasonal Changes

Seasonal allergies, also referred to as hay fever and allergic rhinitis, are much more common than people may realize. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 1 in 4 American adults and nearly 1 in 5 children have a seasonal allergy.

occurs when an allergen – such as pollen from trees, grass and weeds or mold spores – enters the body. In response, the immune system overreacts and produces antibodies, called immunoglobulin E (IgE), that signal to cells to release histamines, a chemical that fights off the invaders, but also is notorious for causing allergy symptoms.

Allergy symptoms

Common allergy symptoms include:

• Sneezing.

Seasonal allergies are treated in a variety of ways. Most often, over-the-counter or prescription antihistamines help suppress the body’s immune response, providing relief from symptoms. Decongestants can be used to relieve congestion. Over-the-counter cough medications are commonly recommended as well.
