Hay Fever

Hay Fever is also known as allergic rhinitis. Hay fever usually develops immediately after exposure to specific allergy-causing substances (allergens). Common allergens include pollen, dust mites, cockroaches, mold and pet dander. Symptoms include sneezing, itchy and watery eyes, cough, and a runny or stuffed nose. You may also develop wheezing. Symptoms can develop at any time from early spring to early fall, depending on which pollens or molds trigger the allergy. Hay fever tends to run in families that have a high incidence of allergic conditions such as asthma and eczema, but many people seem to grow out of the problem as they get older.
