Why Are Our Spring Allergies Getting Worse Every Year?

So much so that people who did not experience the “a” of allergy until a few years ago are now He can’t drop the napkin from his hand.

What about our spring allergies? The reason it gets worse every year why?

One of the most important reasons why spring allergies are more common this year is climate changes.

According to experts, high temperatures seen before the season due to climate change will cause spring to come earlier than expected, thus Pollen season also knocks on our door earlier.

Moreover, climate changes brings about higher carbon dioxide levels and this contributes to super-pollinator plants producing more pollen. So for these reasons, pollen seasons are now both longer and stronger.

So how does something called allergy affect us so negatively?

When the immune system develops antibodies called IgE against a specific allergen, such as pollen an allergic reaction occurs and a hypersensitive response develops when coming into contact with these allergens.

This response causes a chemical called histamine to be released into the bloodstream, thereby sneezing, cough and itching symptoms such as these occur.

In addition, as the amount of pollen in the environment increases, watery eyes and nasal congestion may also occur and become increasingly severe, in addition to these complaints. Even in some cases asthma attacks, shortness of breath and wheezing can even be seen.

While we can’t control the climate, we can reduce our exposure to pollen.

For example, doors and windows can be kept closed to prevent pollen from entering the home. Changing your clothes when you come home after spending the day outside also prevents these pollens. It prevents you from carrying it to your home and bed.

In addition, when our body is dehydrated, it causes allergies. produces more of the chemical histamine and therefore adequate water intake may help prevent symptoms from worsening.
