Hay Fever

Hay Fever Hay fever is also known as perennial allergic rhinitis which is an allergic inflammation of the nasal airways. Airborne substances such as pollen cause the reaction along with many other triggers.

The immune system normally protects our bodies against harmful substances such as bacteria and viruses. It also reacts to foreign substances called allergens, which are usually harmless and in most people won’t cause a problem.

However in someone with hay fever allergies the immune response is oversensitive and releases chemicals such as histamines that fight off the allergen.

Histamines can cause symptoms such as itchy eyes, runny nose and palate and a skin rash. It aggravates the sense of tastes, smell, sight and touch causing irritation, extreme disability and can be fatal.

What is a hay fever?

There are different microscopic substances in the air. When an individual with a sensitive immune system inhales them through the nose, it causes the body to produce antibodies and release histamine. They get into the respiratory passages including the throat, nose, sinus and also the eyes causing different symptoms that can be very uncomfortable and frustrating.

Histamine causes itchy and watery eyes, sneezing, swelling and inflammation of the nasal passages. However symptoms can vary in severity between people. Very sensitive people can experience hives or other rashes. Symptoms tend to appear when you are younger and lessen by the age of 35 or 40 years.
