Runny or Blocked nose
Individuals with Devil's Walking Stick pollen allergy may experience an excessive amount of mucus, leading to a runny or blocked nose. This is the body's way of trying to trap and expel the allergen.
Itchy or Watery Eyes
Another common symptom is having itchy or watery eyes. The allergen may irritate the eyes causing discomfort and inducing tears as a natural response to cleanse the eyes.
Sneezing
Those allergic to the pollen may have frequent, sudden bouts of sneezing. Sneezing can also be a reflex to expel the irritants from the nasal passages.
Shortness of Breath
This typically happens when a person inhales the pollen, causing asthma-like symptoms like coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath.
Skin Rashes
Skin rashes, hives, or itchy bumps that appear on the skin may also be a result of the allergy. The skin becomes red and inflamed as a response to the allergen.
Fatigue
People suffering from the allergy may also experience fatigue. This could be due to the body's immune response working overtime to fight off the allergen.
