Extractions: Hay fever is the name given to pollen allergy. Other terms for hay fever include "seasonal allergic rhinitis" or "pollinosis." If you have hay fever, you are not alone. An estimated 26.1 million Americans have hay fever symptoms each year. 14.6 million Americans have asthma, which can often accompany hay fever. HOW HAY FEVER OCCURS Anyone can develop an allergy to a common substance, but those who do usually have inherited the tendency as a family trait. The sensitivity is developed after exposure to the substance. Hay fever is a good example of this process. During the seasons when plants are pollinating, everyone in the surrounding area is exposed. People with allergic tendency may develop sensitivity to any one or more of the pollens, although certain pollens are more likely to cause an allergic reaction than others. Pollens that are light enough to be wind-borne are what cause the problem for most hay-fever sufferers. Heavier pollens that are carried from plant to plant by bees and by other insects can also be allergens, but they cause trouble only when a person comes into direct contact with the plant. Airborne pollens can penetrate anywhere, indoors and out, and are most numerous at the height of the pollinating season for the particular plant.

Extractions: Go Back Nutrition for a Living Planet - Home Page Hay fever (allergic rhinitis or pollinosis) Hay fever (allergic rhinitis or pollinosis), is an allergy characterized by sneezing, itchy and watery eyes, a runny nose and a burning sensation of the palate and throat. It is usually caused by allergies to airborne substances such as dust, moulds, pollens, animal fur and feathers. It is often aggravated by a food allergy, the most common being an allergy to milk. Hay fever is most common in people with a family history of similar complaints or a personal history of eczema, hives (urticaria), and/or asthma. The best treatment is avoidance of the allergen. However, since this is not always possible, a variety of antihistamines, decongestants, and intranasal steroids may be prescribed. Various essential oils help with the symptoms, but the specifics vary from person to person. Oils that have been recommended by aromatherapists include Blue Camomile, Lemon Balm Lavender , and an increase of Vitamin C and Beta carotene should promote healing of the mucus membranes. Each spring, summer, and fall, tiny particles are released from trees, weeds, and grasses. These particles, known as pollen, hitch rides on currents of air. Although their mission is to fertilize parts of other plants, many never reach their targets. Instead, they enter human noses and throats, triggering a type of seasonal allergic rhinitis called pollen allergy, which many people know as hay fever or rose fever (depending on the season in which the symptoms occur). Of all the things that can cause an allergy, pollen is one of the most widespread. Many of the foods, drugs, or animals that cause allergies can be avoided to a great extent; even insects and household dust are escapable. Short of staying indoors when the pollen count is highand even that may not helpthere is no easy way to evade windborne pollen.

In the winter, she loved to go outside and play in the snow. And in the spring, she would go outside, but her throat would itch, her eyes would get puffy, her nose would run, her sinuses would clog, and she'd get nasal drip. So she locked herself up in her house, and never came out again. The moral of the story: hay fever bites. Living with hay fever can be extremely difficult - when you're having trouble doing something as simple as breathing , you know that you're in for a long spring and summer. Yet most of us don't live anywhere near a farm . . . so where does the hay fever come from?

Allergy has different names. Allergy reactions occurring in the nose and sinus are called "sinus" or "hay fever" or "allergic rhinitis." And when allergy reactions occur in the chest we call it "asthma." Allergy reactions in the skin are named "hives" or "angioedema." So you see, allergy has different names depending upon where in your body it occurs.

BBC NEWS | Health | Global Warming 'will Worsen Hay Fever'
Global warming could lead to greater misery for hay fever sufferers, say experts. Hayfever is affecting more and more people Professor Jean Emberlin.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/2721375.stm

Extractions: Global warming could lead to greater misery for hay fever sufferers, say experts. Hay fever is caused by an allergic reaction to pollen released when plants begin to flower. And experts believe the milder climate in the UK is likely to lead to many plants flowering earlier and for longer periods. Hay fever is affecting more and more people They also suspect that the modern trend for mowing the lawn all year round may pile on the misery still further, and lead to more people developing the condition. Although cut grass is usually too short to flower, hay fever can still be triggered by chemicals contained in grass sap, which are released when it is cut. The Woodland Trust and the National Pollen Research Unit plan to monitor the effects of climate change on the hay fever season. They are asking people to record the time of the first flowering of early grass species such as Yorkshire fog, cocksfoot, meadow foxtail and Timothy.

Extractions: Pollen That means all the flowers will start blooming and spreading pollen earlier, making running noses and sneezes even worse. Hay fever happens when people have an allergic reaction to the pollen, and the idea that the pollen will arrive earlier and hang around later is really bad news. More people suffering It's not just flowers that cause the fever. People mowing their lawns all year round also makes things worse. Hay fever is affecting more and more people every year, with the number of sufferers in Britain having risen by about 10% in the last 30 years.

Extractions: ALLERGIC RHINITIS ( HAY FEVER ) Symptoms of allergic rhinitis (Hay Fever) include itchy, runny, sneezy, or stuffy noses, and itchy eyes. Allergic rhinitis is a common illness affecting an estimated 20-40 million Americans, and resulting in 10 million lost days of school or work each year. Often caused by pollens from trees, grass or weeds, it is most commonly known as hay fever. Hay fever subsides with the onset of cold weather. Perennial allergic rhinitis, however, occurs year around and is caused by indoor allergens such as dust, mite, mold spores, and animal dander. What Causes Allergic Rhinitis? Chemical substances, such as histamine, are normally stored in mast cells in tissues of the body, including the nose and eyes. The allergic person forms antibodies against pollens and other allergens. These antibodies attach themselves to the mast cells, and when combined with the allergen the result is the release of histamine and other chemical substances from the mast cells. These chemical substances cause the allergic responses of itching, sneezing, congestion, and dripping. Treatment: Avoidance is the best treatment for any allergy whenever possible. Keeping doors and windows closed in the home and in your car and avoiding vigorous outside activity will help to lessen your exposure during times when the pollen count is high. Removing pets from the home and dust and mold control measures can significantly relieve symptoms due to perennial allergens.

http://www.entassociates.com/allergies.htm

Extractions: of corpus christi Hay fever describes the symptoms of runny nose, itchy eyes and throat, uncontrollable sneezing and sometimes itching of the skin. It is not caused by hay, and does not produce fever. The correct name for the condition is seasonal allergic rhinitis. Many seasonal "colds" are actually allergic rhinitis, and will not respond to antibiotics. Seasonal allergic rhinitis happens when pollens and/or particles of plant or animal dander, mold spores, etc., come into contact with the lining of the nose, eyes, or throat. The body's immune system recognizes their presence and starts a reaction to prevent their invasion. In most people this is not a problem. However, in some the immune system is overactive and identifies normally harmless particles as dangerous, producing an excessive reaction that actually causes inflammation. This is known as allergy and the substances causing it are allergens. People are allergic to only certain substances, and the reaction does not usually appear until after several exposures to that substance. Can Allergies Be Serious?
