Allergies are immune-system responses to a particular food, airborne substance, chemical, medication, cosmetic, perfume, textiles, building material, or plastic. Some symptoms of allergies are:\n\n    * Itchy, watery eyes\n    * Sneezing\n    * Headache\n    * Runny or stuffy nose, or postnasal drip\n    * Sore throat\n    * Dark circles under the eyes\n    * Itchy feeling in the mouth or throat\nSelf-care for allergies and sensitivities can be approached in a number of ways—but it can be hard to know just where to start. To make it easier, our doctors recommend trying these simple steps first:\n\n    * Watch what you eat\n    * Work with a professional who specializes in food sensitivities to see if certain foods are causing your allergies\n\n    * Clean it up\n    * Control household allergens like dust, mold, and animal dander to reduce your overall allergic load\n\n    * See an allergist\n    * Find a health professional to help you manage your allergies\n\n    * Help children avoid allergies with beneficial bacteria\n    * Take a supplement containing high-potency beneficial bacteria (probiotics) during pregnancy and give them to newborns to help reduce the risk of children developing allergies

I don't know what it is, but anything that you may be allergic to can cause skin hives.

I know how you're feeling - three a levels left!  All I can say is wash everything - bedlinen, clothes, hair - that's where pollen can always get stuck.  My anti-histamines aren't very effective, either.  I am living indoors the whole time at the moment!

ALL flowers have pollen, and that can play a HUGE role in asthma.  See below.\n\nA personal example:  Have you ever smelled lilacs?\n\nLast week I think I was about to develop asthma myself, when there was a big bouquet of them by my desk at work...the fragrance was over-powering!\n\nThe reason you react to flowers, indoors or out, is the pollen.  That's a HUGE part of most people's spring allergies, because pollen is EVERYWHERE... trees, bushes, plants... bees carry it around, it is light enough to float on the wind, it gets on anything near it and STICKS!  -I park my car under a cherry tree (which is currently blossoming -has flowers), and EVERY morning I have a new layer of pollen on my windshield, and the rest of my car.  It's HARD to get off! -So you can imagine why it sticks in, and irritates your lungs. \n\nThere are some milder scented flowers that might be safe to be around, but if you want greenery I suggest you stick to non-flowering plants.\n\np.s. A lot of REALLY STINKY perfumes are made from flowers!

Allergies are your immune system reacting to things that it shouldn't.  Basically, it acts like something normal, like pollen, or dander or grass is something foreign.  Now that everything is so much "cleaner" we aren't getting those same harmless things at normal levels (by rolling in the dirt or being outside), our body reacts to them as foreign.  You reaction is the same as if something is really wrong.  ex.) Your eyes water and itch from cat dander, like they would if you had something really harmful, like paint chips in them.  Some researchers think this is why there is such an increase in asthma.  But, it is hard to say that overprotective moms is the only reason our bodies are reacting strangely.  Compared to 100 years ago we eat, sleep, play and work completely differently. There is more pollution and more relaxation time.  All of that affects our evolution and affects our health.  But the research seems to show that too much bleach and cleaning and recycled air leads to, on a much less dramatic scale, bubbleboy kids.

Allergic rhinitis is a condition characterized by runny nose, blocked nose, sneezing attacks for longer than 1 hour per day and last for more than 2 weeks. It can be seasonal (hay fever) or perennial (happens all year round).\n\nAllergic Rhinitis can be caused by allergy to one or more of the following: dust, mites, pollen, animal danders.\n\nTreatment include humidity control: symptoms often improve with humidifiers; removal of dust mites by regular steaming of furnitures, avoidance of irritants like cigarette smoke or exhausts.\n\nDrug treatment include taking anti-histamines. There are non-drowsy ones to take.

Hives are usually an allergy problem; although dry indoor air can contribute.\n\nSince yours are so time-specific, it's probably a pollen problem.\n\nThis site can help with pollens: pollens.com\n\nAlso, weather.com can give an allergen report.

Allergies are cause by being exposed to something.  The first time you are exposed to it no big deal but the more you are exposed to it the worse it gets.  So it takes a few years for somethings to bother you especially if it is just a spring allergy also the pollen may have been the strongest the last two years.

Try altering your diet to see what foods are triggering your allergies.  many doctors cannot tell you any more than yours already have.  Try beeswax therapy.

Many people are sensitive to the fragrances of flowers, which can be pungent to their senses. Pollen may have scent, but any sensitivity to it by people is usually the result of allergies.

Yes. That's the principle behind getting allergy shots. The doctor doesn't actually give you medicine to counteract the allergy, he's actually giving you gradually increasing doses of the material you're allergic to. For example, ragweed, pollen, cat dandruff, etc.\n\nAllergies are a tricky thing. Some people have no allergies for years and develop it out of the blue. Other people have allergies for years and then have it disappear forever.\n\nIt also depends on what you're allergic to. If you're allergic to ragweed, and ragweed fails to bloom one year, then you won't have allergy symptoms.
