You’re stuffy and congested, your eyes are watering and your nose is running… Ah, it must be autumn! As beautiful as fall can be, it can also be agonizing if you’re prone to seasonal allergies.
An autumn allergy goes under the category of allergic rhinitis, also called hay fever, which happens when your body’s immune system reacts to an inhaled pollen in the air.
Most common culprits are:
✅Autumnal pollen - dock w**d, ragw**d, mugwort, nettles, sorrel and plantain
✅The rise of the mould spores - Mould spores grow from fallen, rotting leaves, soil, compost heaps, and dead plants.
✅Indoor allergens - Being inside increases dust build-up, leading to mites, pet dander, and indoor moulds. Windows and doors are kept closed, keeping all the allergens circulating inside, increasing exposure.
Before taking prevention, knowing what is specifically causing discomfort is your first port of call. When you know the issue, you can arm yourself against autumn allergens by minimising your exposure.
