Environmental Allergies & Symptoms
There are a wide range of environmental allergens, and they can occur anytime of the year. The American College of Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology (ACAAI) recognizes two types of allergic rhinitis (hay fever). Seasonal rhinitis is when symptoms occur in the spring, summer, and early fall, while perennial symptoms may occur year-round.
Studies have shown that allergens from the environment affect 40 to 60 million Americans. Allergens and irritants can be found indoors and outdoors.
These are some common allergy triggers:
- Pollen from trees, grass, and weeds (such as ragweed)
- Mold spores
- Fungi
- Dust Mites
- Poor indoor and outdoor air quality
Pollen is an especially common irritant. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that medical costs linked to pollen exceeds $3 billion every year.
