What are the potential impacts of biodiversity loss on pollen allergy patterns, including allergies to Blue Lyme Grass?

Biodiversity loss impacts the allergy patterns significantly. The decrease in diversity of plant species can lead to dominance of certain species, like Blue Lyme Grass, causing an increase in their respective allergens. This could lead to higher incidences of related allergies.

Decrease in biodiversity may also affect ecosystem services that mitigate allergen abundance. Certain insects, birds and other wildlife aid in pollen control. Their decline due to biodiversity loss can lead to increased airborne pollen levels.

In a less diverse ecosystem, with fewer plant strains, there could also be a lapse in human immune system’s recognition of different polypeptides in the pollen, leading to high sensitivity and reaction to the dominant species' pollen. Hence, allergies to substances like Blue Lyme Grass pollen might become more prevalent and severe.

In terms of treatment, managing allergies involves administering anti-histamines which block the immune response to allergens, therefore relieving symptoms. However, with increased exposure due to biodiversity loss, individuals might need higher or more frequent doses of such medications.

Therefore, conserving biodiversity could be a valuable strategy in managing allergic diseases. Comprehensive public health strategies must consider human health impacts of biodiversity loss, including changes in allergy patterns.
