Simple steps like checking the pollen forecast, showering after being outside, and using over-the-counter antihistamines or nasal sprays can significantly cut your exposure and give you major relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ah, spring and summer. The sun is out, the birds are singing, and… you’re sneezing your head off with eyes that won’t stop itching. Welcome to the world of seasonal allergies, or “hay fever.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allergies are basically a friendly, but overzealous, mistake by your immune system. It mistakes harmless things like tree pollen, grass, or ragweed for dangerous invaders, and releases a chemical called histamine<\/strong> to fight them. It’s the histamine that causes all the classic misery: the runny nose, the itchy throat, and the constant urge to sneeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
