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.

SYW lower your cholesterol? SYW be a vegan? SYW improve your complexion? Come close, little ones, and hear our bedtime tale . . . Once upon a time, there was a woman. In the fall, she loved to go outside and feel the wind. 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? It has often been noted (by people who like to note things) that hay fever is not a fever at all, nor does it have anything to do with hay. Hay fever, a.k.a. rose fever, is medically designated as "

READERS REMEDIES Newest Forum Topics: Guest Login ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH Hay Fever, Allergy And Asthma Hay fever is a chronic condition characterized by: - sneezing, - nasal congestion, - runny and itching nose, palate, ears and eyes. If you recognize any of these symptoms chances are, you or some member of your family has experienced hay fever at one time or another. Doctors call it allergic rhinitis. Most people know it as hay fever and if you've got it - - as 22 million Americans do - - you're likely to be plagued during the spring and fall seasons by such annoying symptoms as sneezing, congestion, runny nose, itchy throat and red, watery eyes. 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.

4. Allergic Rhinitis (Hay Fever) ALLERGIC RHINITIS ( hay fever ). Symptoms of allergic rhinitis (hay fever) include itchy, runny, sneezy, or stuffy noses, and itchy eyes. http://www.uoregon.edu/~uoshc/allergicrhinitis.html

University of Oregon HEALTH CENTER Allergy Clinic 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.

NEW: Hayfever treatment Hayfever: the facts Why hayfever is important Hayfever affects 15 to 20 % of the population in Britain, where it is mainly caused by grass pollen. In other countries other pollens cause major 'hayfever' as well; ragweed in the USA, birch tree pollen in Scandinavia, and cedar pollen in Japan, for example. Regarded as trivial by the ignorant, hayfever varies from mild forms which are indeed trivial to a severity which is crippling during the season. Sufferers may be unable to work or drive, and we know that school and exam performance is worse in young people who have untreated hayfever. Out-of-date treatments still widely used relieve the symptoms but produce drowsiness which affects driving and exam or academic performance badly. Good modern treatment, which should be available to anyone with bad hayfever, helps nearly everyone so much that life during the hayfever season becomes normal again. A very few people have such bad hayfever that ordinary treatments are not enough. But there are other treatments, and no-one needs to be disabled by hayfever. A specialist in allergy should be able to help if you still have bad hayfever after your family doctor has tried all the treatments there seem to be.

Why does an allergic reaction occur? What causes allergic rhinitis? When and where does allergic rhinitis occur? ... Hay Fever At A Glance Hay fever affects one in every five Americans. Over one billion dollars are spent each year in this country to treat this disorder. Millions of school and work days each year are lost suffering from hay fever symptoms. These figures are probably an underestimate because many sufferers attribute their discomfort to a chronic cold. Although childhood hay fever tends to be more common, this condition can occur at any age and usually occurs after years of repeated exposure to allergic substances. What is hay fever? "Hay fever" is a misnomer. Hay is not a usual cause of this problem and it does not cause fever. Early descriptions of sneezing, nasal congestion, and eye irritation while harvesting field hay promoted this popular term. Many substances cause the allergic symptoms noted in hay fever and hay represents only a small percentage. "Allergic rhinitis" is the correct term used to describe this allergic reaction. Rhinitis means "irritation of the nose" and is a derivative of "Rhino," meaning nose. Allergic rhinitis which occurs during a specific season is called "seasonal allergic rhinitis". When it occurs throughout the year, it is called "perennial allergic rhinitis."

Dr. Arthur Lubitz, Allergist (866) MD-ALLERGY Hay Fever (866) MD-ALLERGY Hay Fever ( allergic rhinitis “Seasonal allergic rhinitis” describes nasal allergies that change with the seasons due to pollen from plants. “Hay fever,” a popular term for seasonal allergies, was coined in 1828 by a British physician, Dr. John Bostock, who noticed that his symptoms worsened during the British haying season. (The expression "hay fever" is misleading because allergies seldom cause a fever and are rarely related to hay.) We use a variety of approaches to treat hayfever and conjunctivitis. We first identify which allergies actually exist for an individual . Next we explore ways to avoid those specific allergens. We use a wide repertoire of medications to control allergy symptoms. For those who still have problems despite these measures we offer desensitization. Our immunotherapy (allergy shots) protocol can bring allergies under control in 3 to 4 months. Causes of hay fever Ragweed - Ragweed, a tall, branched plant, is found throughout the lower 48 states on dry fields, pastures, roadsides, and construction sites. A native of North America, it also grows on every other continent except Antarctica.

13. Hay Fever How hay fever Occurs. Anyone Pollens that are light enough to be windborne are the offenders for most hay fever sufferers. Heavier http://www.lung.ca/diseases/hay_fever.html

Is it a fever? No, it’s not. If you feel feverish, some other illness has been added. Is it caused by hay? Well, yes - but also by many other sources of allergens - triggers of allergic reactions. Better call it allergic rhinitis or pollenosis, a sensitivity to pollen. 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. During the seasons when plants are pollinating, everyone in the vicinity is exposed. People with the tendency may develop sensitivity to any one or more of the pollens, although certain pollens are more allergenic more likely to cause allergic reaction than others. Pollens that are light enough to be windborne are the offenders for most hay fever sufferers. Heavier pollens that are borne from plant to plant by bees and 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. What are the Effects?

Hay Fever (Allergic Rhinitis) DESCRIPTION An allergic response to airborne allergens that affects the eyes, nose, sinuses, throat, and bronchial tubes in the lungs. The name is confusing since hay does not cause an allergic reaction and there is no fever. Attacks flare up in pollen season and disappear when it is over. FREQUENT SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS Itching, watery eyes. Frequent sneezing; stuffy nose with a clear discharge. Itching in the roof of the mouth. Wheezing (sometimes). Burning in the throat. CAUSES The body’s immune system produces allergic antibodies which release a chemical called histamine, which in turn produces swelling and irritation in sensitive areas (nose, sinuses, eyes). Airborne allergens causing an allergic sensitivity include: Pollen from weeds. flowers, grasses and trees. Mold. Dust Mites. Tobacco smoke and other air pollutants. RISK INCREASES WITH Medical history of allergic reactions, such as eczema or asthma. Smoking. Spring and autumn. Most plants produce pollen during these seasons. Family history of allergies.

Symptoms include itchy eyes, watery discharge from the nose and eyes, sneezing, and nervous irritability. Many of the symptoms of hay fever are similar to those of the common cold. However, allergies cause a distinctive clear, thin nasal discharge, whereas secretions caused by colds usually become thick and yellow-green as the illness progresses. Also, colds are often associated with mild fever and are usually gone within a week, while allergy sufferers often have a feeling of being "wiped out" for weeks on end. At least 22 million Americans suffer from the seasonal sneezes, runny nose, and itchy eyes that come with hay fever. There are actually three hay fever seasons, distinguished by the different types of pollen present at different times. Tree pollens appear first, usually between February and May, depending on the local climate. The biggest problems come later in spring and in summer, when both tree and grass pollensand peopleare out at the same time. The fall is ragweed pollen season. Depending on which pollen or pollens an individual is allergic to, hay fever may be present at any or all of these times.
