Springtime—Refreshing But Hard on Allergies

As the winter months are passing, springtime begins to erupt and surface. The sound of birds singing with their babies chirping, squirrels running here and there collecting food and every other creature coming out for the warmer weather, so are the allergens in the air.

There are many things in the change in seasons that will possibly affect a person who suffers from allergies or hay fever. Cotton trees send forth those little white and fuzzy pieces that seem to float, until landing on whatever is in its path. Now, this may seem harmless, but, for the allergy or hay fever sufferer, this can become an enemy.

As soon as the person who is allergic to cotton will open the door to the outside, many things will occur as a result of the cotton in the air. The nose will begin to stop up as the throat begins to burn. Eyes will water and become weak. The person may also have a tough time with breathing and have a thickness in the throat, which makes it difficult to swallow. This could all lead the person to an attack with asthma. These are just a few symptoms that can arise from simple little things like cotton.

Drink a lot of water and some green tea during this time and flush the body. Doctors can help with this.
