What Are Seasonal Allergies?
By Christine Crotts
Some people wonder why their allergies only act up during
certain parts of the year. Most people think that if they have
them that they will affect them all year around. Both of these
are common misconceptions. They most commonly depend on the
season. This article will describe the different types and how
they affect people.
Before getting into the different seasonal allergies it is
important to know what they are. They are caused by inflammation
in mucus membranes. These mucus membranes are on the inside of
the nasal passage. When the membranes become inflamed it causes
irritations. They are very common among people and, as stated
before, they can vary dependent on the season.
The first type is winter allergies. Winter allergies mainly
consist of animal, dust, and mold allergies. People are more
prone to be allergic to these things because they are likely
inside your home during the winter. During this time of year
things such as the furnace are constantly running which causes
an excess amount of dust. Mold is also common in warm palaces
therefore in the winter it will mostly grow in the house.
Animals, like the other two, are likely to be inside during the
winter months. Because of this your allergic reactions are more
likely to act up in the winter. This does not mean that you will
only sneeze and cough during the season, however it does mean
that you will most likely have worse experiences with allergies
during this time.
The next season is spring. During this time many people are
working outside in their flower beds getting ready for the nice
weather ahead. This season is not only good for planting; it is
also good for plants to grow. When they grow they release a
substance called pollen. Many people cannot tolerate pollen, and
most likely their condition will act up during this time of
year. Other things such as grass and weeds cause reactions and
are most likely to occur during this time.
This leads to the next topic, summer conditions. Summer
allergies are most commonly related to grass and weeds. During
this time grass and weeds grow at record speeds and this means
you will be cutting them down more frequently. When you cut the
lawn on a frequent basis, people are more likely to react to
them. For example, if after you cut your grass you come inside
with itchy watery eyes, you probably have them.
The last season of the year is fall. During this time many
people have this condition, however there are not normally as
severe. During this weather plants are more likely to begin to
die, therefore they are not releasing as much pollen. Some
things from the summer months may still bother you, for example
grass, but they are not likely to be as irritating.
Depending on what you suffer from you may experience any type
of these seasonal conditions. Seasonal allergies are very
common. It is important to be tested to see what you are
allergic to, so that you can take the proper treatments.
