Spring time is here. People are outside enjoying the air. Shopping and playing outdoor sports are activities that most like to do during this season. There could only be one thing that is holding back from going outside. That one thing is allergies.
Allergies are very serious. If you start becoming allergic to one allergen, you can end up allergic to another allergen. Most people are allergic to dust mites, those people could be candidates of being allergic to pollen. The symptoms are nose swelling, sneezing, redness and itching of eyes. If you have asthma, more occurrences of asthma attacks are seen. If these symptoms are not treated, you can develop a fever and bronchitis, which are very serious.
More than fifty million Americans suffer from allergic diseases. Pollen allergy affects nearly ten percent of the people in the USA. A recent nationwide survey found that more than half of all U.S citizens test positive to one or more allergens. Allergies are the sixth leading cause of chronic disease in the United States. Chronic sinusitis, a continuous or recurring infection and/or inflammation of the sinuses of the head, most often caused by allergies, affects approximately 38 million people in the USA.
People need to try to control their allergies so it doesn’t get out of hand. There are books and medications that can help you do this. You can purchase these items at this site, http://www.youronestopstore.com/12109. On the search bar, type allergies.
