If you have seasonal or environmental allergies, chances
are there are times you would do anything to have a
clear nose or eyes that don't itch.
Some people
suffer from allergies throughout the entire year,
while others experience symptoms seasonally,
depending on the pollen type outside.
But what causes allergies? It's actually a bit of a
battle being fought inside your body. When you
inhale or are exposed to an allergen, your body sees
it as the enemy and produces histamines and other
chemicals to attack it. This process causes you to
experience allergy symptoms. |
