Key Symptoms of Alder pollen Allergy

Runny Nose

This is one of the most common symptoms of an alder pollen allergy. The person would have a constantly runny nose or may feel a constant need to blow their nose due to an excessive production of mucus.

Sneezing

Severe, recurrent sneezing is another common symptom. It can be intermittent or can occur in bouts, and is the body's way of trying to expel the allergen.

Itchy or Watering Eyes

Sufferers of an alder pollen allergy often experience intense itching in their eyes. The eyes may also continuously water as the body tries to flush out the pollen from the eyes.

Congestion

A feeling of being 'stuffed up' or experiencing difficulty breathing through the nose. This is due to inflammation of the nasal passages caused by the allergic reaction.

Itchy Throat

An itchy throat is another common symptom. It may also be sore and may cause the person to cough. This is due to the pollen irritating the lining of the throat.

Headaches

Headaches may also occur, often due to the congestion and increased pressure in the sinuses. This is more likely to happen if the person has been exposed to the pollen for a prolonged period.

How to Recognize if You're Allergic to Alder pollen

If you suspect you might have an Alder pollen allergy, it's crucial to understand the typical symptoms associated with this type of allergy and recognize the timing when Alder trees release their pollens. Below is a step-by-step guide on recognizing an Alder pollen allergy:

 

Recognize the Typical Symptoms of an Alder Pollen Allergy

 

  • Watery, Itchy Eyes: Alder pollen can cause severe eye irritation leading to watery and itchy eyes.
  • Itchy Throat or Mouth: An itchy throat or mouth is common with Alder pollen allergies.
  • Sneezing: Those allergic to Alder pollen may experience bouts of sneezing.
  • Runny or Stuffy Nose: A runny or congested nose may be a symptom of an Alder pollen allergy.
  • Fatigue: Feelings of fatigue are not uncommon in those with this type of allergy.

 

Awareness of Alder Pollen Release Periods

 

Alder trees typically release their pollens from January to late February or early March. If your symptoms seem to coincide with these periods, it's a strong indication of an Alder pollen allergy.

 

Confirm Your Alder Pollen Allergy With a Medical Test

 

If you observe these symptoms and they align with Alder pollen release periods, visit an allergist for a formal diagnosis. The skin prick test is commonly used to diagnose pollen allergies, including Alder pollen allergy.

 

Note: Always Consult With a Healthcare Professional

 

Self-diagnosis on the basis of symptoms and time periods can only indicate a possible allergy. For a definitive diagnosis and effective treatment plan, consult with a healthcare professional.

When Alder pollen Grows and Its Impacts

Alder pollen, a common allergen in the United States, typically begins to grow in late winter and early spring. The growth period can start as early as January and usually lasts until April.

 

Understanding Alder Pollen Growth Time

 

  • Start of Growth: Alder pollen begins to grow typically around late winter, which can be as early as January in many regions of the U.S.
  • End of Growth: The end of alder pollen growth usually occurs around the start of summer or late spring, often no later than April.

 

Where Alder pollen Grows Across the USA?

Alder trees, which produce Alder pollen, are native to most parts of the USA, except for the South-East and the desert areas in the South-West. They are predominantly found in the Pacific Northwest, including Alaska, and extend across the Northern states into the North-East. Alder trees are abundant along the coast from Alaska to Central California.

 

Key Geographic Areas

 

  • Pacific Northwest and Alaska: Alder trees are a common sight in these regions.
  • Northern States: They extend across to the Northern states and the North-East.
  • Coastal Region: From Alaska to Central California, alder trees are found along the coast.

Tips for Avoiding Alder pollen Allergy

‍

Limit Outdoor Activities

 

Reduce outdoor activities during peak Alder pollen season (generally from late winter to early spring) to lower your exposure. Check local pollen forecasts and try to stay indoors on high pollen days.

 

Wear Protective Gear

 

Wear sunglasses and a hat when you do go outside to keep pollen from getting into your eyes and hair. When doing yard work, consider wearing a mask, especially on a high pollen count day.

 

Indoor Air Filtration

 

Using a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter in your home can help remove any alder pollen that has found its way indoors. Regularly changing your air filters and keeping windows and doors closed can also keep the pollen out.

 

Immediate Body Cleaning

 

Shower and change your clothes promptly after being outside to reduce the spread of pollen into your indoor environment. Additionally, wash your hands often and avoid touching your face, as your hands can carry pollen to your eyes and nose, causing allergy symptoms.

Diet to Ease Alder pollen Allergy Symptoms

Alleviating Alder pollen allergy symptoms can be achieved through your diet. Certain foods are believed to help stimulate the immune system, reduce inflammation, and decrease allergic reactions.

 

Include Foods Rich in Vitamin C

 

  • Citrus fruits: Oranges, lemons, grapefruits and limes are all excellent sources of Vitamin C.
  • Berries: Strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries are also rich in Vitamin C.
  • Vegetables: Broccoli, bell peppers, and tomatoes are great vegetable options high in Vitamin C.

 

Eat Foods with Omega-3 Fatty Acids

 

  • Fish: Consuming fish like salmon, sardines, and mackerel offers the immune boosting benefits of Omega-3 Fatty Acids.
  • Seeds and nuts: Flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts also contain a good amount of Omega-3 Fatty Acids.

 

Add Probiotic-Rich Foods to Your Diet

 

  • Yogurt: Look for yogurts with live and active cultures, like Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus.
  • Fermented foods: Sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir and kombucha are great sources of probiotics.

 

Opt for Foods High in Quercetin

 

  • Apples: The peel of apples are rich in this antioxidant which is believed to reduce inflammation.
  • Onions and garlic: Besides adding flavor to dishes, these ingredients may also help alleviate allergy symptoms.
  • Tea: Both green and black tea contain a good level of quercetin.

 

Remember to incorporate these foods into your diet regularly for the potential to ease your Alder pollen allergy symptoms. Always consult a health professional with any concerns.

 

What Food Worsens Alder pollen Allergy

For individuals afflicted with an Alder pollen allergy, certain food items can increase the severity of the allergy symptoms due to the body's tendency to cross-react to proteins that are structurally similar to those found in Alder pollen. These food items can trigger an oral allergy syndrome (OAS), characterised by itching or swelling around the mouth and throat.

 

Foods that have been identified to exacerbate Alder Pollen Allergy Include:

 

  • Apples: These can cause a cross-reactive response resulting in OAS.
  • Pears: Just like apples, pears can also trigger a cross-reactive response.
  • Cherries: Eating cherries can potentially worsen Alder pollen allergy symptoms.
  • Almonds: Almonds, due to their protein structure, can trigger an allergic response.
  • Parsley: Parsley can also increase the severity of the allergy symptoms.
  • Celery: Raw celery can cause a flare-up and is therefore best avoided.

 

In addition, it's crucial to note that processing or cooking these foods can alter their protein structure, in turn, reducing their allergenicity. Therefore, many individuals affected by this allergy may tolerate these foods when cooked or processed.

Factors Affecting Alder Pollen Levels

    •  

  • **Climate and Weather**: Seasonal weather patterns, such as temperature and rainfall, influence the amount and timing of alder pollen release.

    •  

  • **Tree Species**: Different species of alder trees may produce varying amounts of pollen, affecting allergen levels.

 

Is there a cross-reactivity between alder pollen and certain foods?

 

Cross-Reactivity with Foods

 

  • Individuals allergic to alder pollen may experience oral allergy syndrome (OAS) due to cross-reactivity with certain foods.

    •  

  • Common cross-reactive foods include apples, pears, cherries, almonds, and hazelnuts. This occurs because these foods share similar protein structures with alder pollen.

    •  

  • Symptoms typically include itching or swelling in the mouth and throat shortly after consuming these foods.

    •  

  • It's advisable to monitor symptoms and consult an allergist for personalized management strategies if cross-reactivity is suspected.
