Seasonal allergies

  2. During particular periods of the year, trees, grasses, and weeds release small pollen particles into the air to nourish other plants, causing allergy symptoms.
  3. People who are allergic to pollen have their immune systems treat these particles (called allergens) as intruders, releasing substances such as histamine into the circulation to protect against them.
  4. Allergy symptoms are caused by the release of these substances. Some of the symptoms include:
  1. Sneezing
  2. Itchy nose and/or throat
  3. Nasal congestion
  4. Clear, runny nose
  5. Postnasal drip
