Pollen Allergy
This allergy is triggered by the pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds. It is most common in the spring when plants pollinate heavily. However, certain weeds can cause allergic reactions in the late summer and fall.
Dust Mite Allergy
Dust mites are tiny organisms that live in house dust, triggering allergic reactions. This allergy does not have a specific season but can be more noticeable during winter when people spend more time indoors.
Mold Allergy
Mold spores can cause allergic reactions and are more prevalent in damp, humid environments. People may experience symptoms year-round, but it can worsen in summer and fall due to increased humidity.
Pet Dander Allergy
Allergies to pet dander are caused by proteins found in the skin cells, saliva, and urine of furry pets. This type of allergy can occur year-round with exposure to affected animals.
Ragweed Allergy
Ragweed pollen is a common allergen that affects people late summer into fall, peaking in mid-September. It can travel long distances and affect allergy sufferers even in areas where ragweed doesn’t grow.
Hay Fever (Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis)
Hay fever is a common allergy to environmental triggers such as pollen and mold. Its symptoms align with the pollination periods of various plants and can vary by region, affecting individuals primarily in spring and summer.
