BRACE YOURSELF!! Allergies are coming!!!

in #life7 years ago

As you guys know Spring is just around the block waiting for us to bless with some of the best sceneries that we'll carry with us through out the year. While it is considered a blessing for some people, it is a 2 months torture for some people.

Yes i'm talking about people that are allergic to pollen which plants release in the spring season, and the people allergic to hay fever start to sneeze and sniffle.

There is no cure for allergies, if you're born with them you'll have to die with them. But you can avoid them by taking some precautions.

Causes


The biggest spring allergy trigger is pollen. Trees, grass and weeds release tiny grains into the air to fertilize other plants. And when these small grains enter someone's nose who is allergic, they turn the defensive system of the body into malfunction mode.

The immune system sees the pollen as a danger and releases antibodies that attack the pollen. This leads to release of a chemical called histamines into the blood stream. Runny nose, itchy eyes and other symptoms are all because of histamines.

Symptoms


Being allergic, you may have:

  • Runny nose
  • Itchy eyes and nose
  • Dark Circles under the eyes
  • Sneezing
  • Watery eyes
  • Coughing

Tips to control allergy

1. Try to stay inside your house when the pollen count is high, especially in the morning. 2. Keep your windows and doors closed in the month of spring to keep the pollen out. 3. Clean out your house, because they may collect around your house. 4. Wash your hair after going outside, pollen may collect in that. 5. Wear a mask, because only this thing can save you from a severe allergic attack.
