Summer allergy: There is no good season to be free of incessant sneezing and coughing. From early spring to late summer, pollen-based allergies generally remain irritating people’s eyes, nose, and throat. They come without warning, if you don’t pay attention, anywhere, anytime. It is also known as allergic rhinitis which can occur in a particular season. The one that causes most allergies during the summer is hay fever. Hay fever is defined as an overreaction of the immune system to pollen in the air. According to WebMD, trees, grass, and weeds fill with pollen in late spring, however, the latter triggers allergies.
Hay fever gets its name from the hay cutting season. Historically, this activity occurred in the summer months, around the same time that many people were experiencing symptoms.
