Chronic Allergies

Chronic allergies, also known as allergic rhinitis or hay fever, are a common and persistent condition that occurs when the immune system overreacts to allergens in the environment. While allergies can affect people of all ages, they often develop during childhood and persist into adulthood. In this article, we will explore the causes, symptoms, and management strategies for chronic allergies.

Chronic allergies can significantly impact one’s quality of life, but with proper management and avoidance of triggers, symptoms can be effectively controlled. By understanding the causes, recognizing the symptoms, and implementing appropriate management strategies, individuals with chronic allergies can find relief and enjoy a more comfortable and symptom-free lifestyle.

Causes of Chronic Allergies:

Chronic allergies are typically triggered by the immune system’s response to specific allergens, which vary from person to person. Common allergens include:

Pollen: Pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds is a prevalent allergen during specific seasons, leading to seasonal allergic rhinitis.

Dust Mites: Microscopic organisms that thrive in dust, bedding, and upholstery can trigger year-round allergic reactions.

Animal Dander: Proteins found in the skin, saliva, and urine of animals like cats, dogs, and rodents can cause allergic symptoms.

Mold Spores: Mold growth in damp areas, such as bathrooms and basements, can release spores that act as allergens.

Certain Foods: In some cases, chronic allergies can be triggered by specific foods, such as peanuts, shellfish, or dairy products.
