What Aspects Influence The Severity Of Hay Fever
What aspects influence the severity of Hay Fever?
As mentioned earlier, the season of the year contributes to the severity of hay fever. High incidence of hay fever was recorded on seasons where trees, weeds, and grasses produces large amount of pollens. Other allergen-related chemical substances such as histamine further influence the severity of hay fever. It is commonly stored in mast cells in tissues of the body. When antibodies reacts with these allergens, histamine and other chemicals are released from the mast cells causing intense allergic responses such as itching, sneezing, and irritation.

What are the main and common causes of Hay Fever?
Hay fever is usually triggered when an individual comes in contact with certain airborne particles which he is allergic to. These proteins can come from different sources, but it usually includes the following:
- The pollens, or small grains that are responsible for fertilizing a flowering plant, can easily be carried in the air. It can trigger different allergies which includes hat fever. These pollens are released by trees, weeds, and grass.
- Like pollens, molds and mildews can be easily carried through air. They usually grow areas with humid weather and less air circulation such as damp basements and bathrooms.
- Dust mites also triggers hay fever. These are microscopic insects that dwell in household dusts. They are commonly found on locations with less air circulation and on surfaces such as carpets and stuffed toys.
Pollens and molds are usually the common causes of hay fever, which when inhaled generate an allergic reaction. Although less common, allergic reactions are also triggered when these allergens are ingested or come in contact with the skin.
