| Fall Hay Fever Allergies |  Sometimes awakening in the morning you may experience watery and itchy eyes, congestion, and sneezing. Firstly you will think that it could be a cold, but guess what – you might also be experiencing hay fever. And not just any hay fever, but fall hay fever.
Mistakenly most people think that hay fever allergy should occur in the spring. In actual fact, this is not so. The matter is that hay fever allergies are seasonal allergies, and fall is as good a season as any to get them.
In contradiction of the belief of many people who have hay fever allergies for the first time, hay fever allergies come to pass in all but the winter months. In addition, in contradiction of what many suppose, you can develop hay fever allergies at any period during you life. Unfortunately, once you have got hay fever, you are likely to have it for a very long time.
The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) estimated that approximately 35 million people in the United States suffer from hay fever.
Hay Fever Allergy Relief
For the worst hay fever allergies, you should visit your doctor. There are certain hay fever allergy medicines that can help lessen your allergy symptoms, but before starting a full-fledged fall hay fever allergy treatment, you may want to follow the offered tips:
- Keep track of the pollen count in your area. You will be aware when allergic pollens are at their highest and be able to get ready for them. The AAAAI website provides this information. Use it.
- If possible, use air conditioning. Well yes, the weather may be getting cooler, but the air conditioner in your home or car will filter out allergens from the air, especially if it is one equipped with a HEPA air filter.
- If symptoms are really serious, and you don’t want to use medicines, you might try a charcoal mask.
- Stay indoors if you must. The point is that most of the allergens you come across will be outside and you can keep away from them by staying inside.
