Sneezing, an itchy nose, and red, watery eyes are all classic signs of allergic rhinitis (also known as “hay fever”). Symptoms develop when your body’s immune system reacts to an irritant in the air, like tree pollen, pet dander or mold spores.
You can’t prevent hay fever, but you can take steps to minimize your allergy symptoms.
• Avoid touching your face or rubbing your nose and eyes.
• Keep your windows closed on days when pollen counts are high even throughout the fall months.
• Use filters in your vacuum and air conditioner.
• Wash your hands often, especially after playing with pets.
