Weather sensitivity

Arab Weather - Certain seasons of the year for some are associated with the emergence of allergy symptoms, such as sneezing, runny nose, congestion, and red eyes. This effect is due to the contribution of various weather factors in spreading allergens in the air, such as pollen, mites, and molds, or the direct effect of some seasons on the emergence of allergies, such as cold weather, which results in skin allergy known as cold weather.

Weather factors that increase sensitivity:

Allergies often increase with the following weather factors:

Storms : which carry with them allergens such as pollen, which are lighter than being deposited by gravity, which contributes to their dispersal in the air and stimulates allergy in the infected.

Rain: The humidity in the air provides a fertile environment for the growth and reproduction of mold and mites. In contrast, rainy weather reduces the spread of pollen.

Cold weather : which stimulates asthma attacks in sufferers and leads to narrowing of the airways, especially among those with asthma resulting from exercise.

Hot weather : there may be more pollutants in the air, which triggers allergic asthma attacks.

The change of seasons and the associated increase in allergens, and the impact of the seasons can be summarized as follows: There are foci of mold and mites in the winter.

Allergy in the spring

The spring season is associated with the release of pollen and the spread of grass, which is reflected in an increase in emergency visits due to pollen allergy. You can take antihistamines to relieve allergy symptoms during the spring season, after consulting your doctor or pharmacist.

Allergy in the summer

Summer is the season for the spread of some plants that cause allergies or release pollen, such as ragweed, grass, and poison ivy, and the spread of mold inside the house increases, which leads to triggering attacks of allergy during this season.

Winter allergy

In addition to the spread of allergens such as foci of mold and mites during the winter, some suffer from a skin allergy to cold weather known as cold urticaria, where the skin suffers an allergic reaction when exposed to cold weather, resulting in itching and swelling. Also, the abundant rains that fall during the winter increase the tree's production of pollen, which exacerbates the pollen sensitivity in the following months.

Allergy in the fall

The ragweed plant continues to release pollen from the last summer months to the beginning of autumn , causing allergy symptoms to appear in those with spring or pollen allergies. Also, the deciduous foliage during the autumn provides a nurturing environment for mold growth outside the home.

Sensitivity and seasons

In addition to the effect of single seasons on the increase in allergies , the fluctuation of the seasons also leads to the emergence of symptoms of allergies in some, such as sneezing, congestion, and nasal runny. This is caused by changes caused by the volatility of the chapters on the membranes of the nose lead to swelling, the so - called non - allergic rhinitis ( in English: Non-allergic rhinitis).

Seasonal allergies

Seasonal allergies or hay fever occur in certain seasons and annually, and are associated with the emergence of allergens , such as pollens, mites, or foci of mold. Seasonal allergies usually occur in the spring and summer , and less in the winter , but it can occur in any season. People with seasonal allergies can take antihistamines under the supervision of a doctor and pharmacist to relieve sneezing and runny nose.
