Shade, napas absorption……….but causes allergies.
“70 percent of patients have allergic rhinitis and conjunctivitis at the same time. With 25 percent only rhinitis and 5 percent predominantly ocular symptoms, we must not forget that many asthmatics have allergic rhinitis at the same time and that both conditions can worsen sequentially or simultaneously if there is pollen allergy and exposure.”says Dr J.org Maspero, medical director Mr. Sidea Foundation. In San Francisco POLLEN AND DUST FROM CENTRAL MILLS are a scourge for thousands of its inhabitants, especially ASH which in addition to the benefits causes breathing problems by adding a few 35 THOUSAND SAMPLES planted in our pots.
Maspero pointed out that “pollen carried by the wind” and noted that although patients often blame bananas for their symptoms, as they form fluff with spicules that irritate the eyes and nose, “They are not always the cause of an allergy in a patient”.
“Actually, other pollens such as conifers, elm, maple and ash. are just as important or even more important causes of allergies than banana pollen.” added a specialist in allergology and immunology.
In this sense, the expert noted that “It is not uncommon to be allergic to various pollens, such as trees and herbs (grasses), which are pollinated sequentially, increasing the severity and duration of symptoms..
“Undoubtedly grass allergies are the most common, but the frequency and severity of each type of pollen allergy varies by geographic area of the country.”– he said in detail.
Seasonal
As for those people who only develop allergies in September and October, Maspero explained that they suffer “seasonal allergies that should be evaluated and treated by a certified allergy specialist.“.
“In many cases, knowing in advance which pollen they are allergic to, one can opt for prophylactic medication about ten days before pollination begins. And for those with severe symptoms, immunotherapy with the pollen that infects them has certainly been shown to be the best option, as it will allow them to get rid of these symptoms in the years to come.”he added.
Allergy is a condition caused by hypersensitivity mechanisms, that is, an exaggerated, inappropriate reaction that occurs when the body encounters irritants or agents that are otherwise harmless, such as pollen.
Clinically, reactions manifest themselves in a variety of ways and in different ways, not only in different people, but also at different stages of the life of the same person.
Our historic trees in General Paz are highly allergenic.
causal factors
Pollen from trees such as maple, ash, banana, elm, privet, coniferous trees, etc., from the end of August and during September.
Pollen of grasses (different types of grasses) from mid-October to early November.
fungal spores. Indoor fungi such as wall spots can cause symptoms year-round, while outdoor fungi such as Alternaria are more common in late summer and fall.
Dust mites.
Animal dander (pets).
There are a number of substances that, while not causing allergies, contribute to the worsening of symptoms due to their irritant properties, such as tobacco smoke; and fragrances that are too strong (room deodorants, insecticides, etc.).
In other cases, some commonly used medications can make symptoms worse, such as aspirin or beta-blockers.
nasal allergy symptoms
sneezing.
Runny nose.
Nasal congestion (a symptom that most worries the patient and affects his quality of life).
nasal itching
Eye redness, eye itching, lacrimation, photophobia.
Sleep disturbances and, as a result, decreased performance and lack of concentration.
Preventive action
It’s hard to avoid pollen. In general, windy days are the most problematic, and it should be remembered that pollen can cause symptoms at a distance of several kilometers.
Pets: Avoid contact with or visit homes with pets if you are known to be allergic to dogs or cats.
Mites: Air the bedding daily, avoid the accumulation of soft objects in the room, remove carpets, upholstered furniture and objects that accumulate dust in the children’s bedroom.
Avoid excessive humidity inside the house.
Avoid tobacco smoke.
Do not self-medicate. The physician should always determine which type of antihistamine is appropriate for each patient by evaluating age, type and severity of disease, efficacy, and potential risks of treatment.
