A New Approach to Resolving
Spring Allergy Symptoms By Helene Pulnik, ND
S
pringtime is just around the corner and that means seasonal allergies will be in full swing soon. Spring is such a beautiful time of year and can be a great time to be outside. However, thousands of people dread springtime because it can be debilitating. Some people are forced to stay inside just so they can breathe. The most common triggers of springtime allergy symptoms are
pollens, grasses, and trees. Tree pollens often affect the early spring- time sufferers. The time and duration of springtime allergy symptoms are determined by the species of tree causing the reaction. Trees are the earliest pollen producers of the year, releasing their pollen as early as March and as late as June. Trees can aggravate allergy symptoms even if they are not on your property, since trees release large amounts of pollen that can travel miles away from the original source.
When springtime allergy symptoms are high, other common, year-round triggers such as mold, dust and dust mites, animal dan-
der, and cockroaches can affect some people even more than they do during other times of the year. That happens because more of a burden is placed on an already stressed immune system during this time of year.
Common springtime allergy symptoms include:
Sneezing..........Itchy, red or watery eyes Runny
nose..........Congestion
Fatigue..........Headaches..........Skin reactions If you suffer from any of the above symptoms, you are not alone.
Pollen allergies affect nearly 19 million people in the US alone with one of the main symptoms being allergic rhinitis, affecting between 10% and 30% of all adults and as many as 40% of all children. Spring allergy season hit us extremely hard last year because the amount of pollen floating around was four times greater than usual. Pollen is measured in grains per cubic meter. For trees, 1,500 grains of pollen per cubic meter is considered high. Last spring, areas along the East Coast measured 6,000 grains per cubic meter. There is no way to predict if pollen counts this year will be as high as they were last spring since daily and seasonal weather conditions affect the pollen counts and make it difficult to make precise predictions more than a few days in advance. If you have ever experienced springtime allergy symptoms, then
you should prepare for allergy season and consider addressing your symptoms early.
