What is pollen allergy?
An allergy to pollen, also known as hay fever, involves an allergic reaction in the airways after inhaling pollen suspended in the air. You may then experience watery, red eyes, sneezing and a runny nose, among other symptoms.
Hay fever is an allergic reaction caused by pollen from grass, trees and all kinds of herbaceous plants carried by the wind. So in fact, the term 'hay fever' is a misnomer, as it has absolutely nothing to do with hay, nor with fever. Pollen consists of microscopic granules that develop in the stamens of flowers, grasses, shrubs and trees. Sometimes they are so light that they can float through the air. Most pollen grains measure between 10 and 30 microns (one micron is one thousandth of a millimetre). Of the many thousands of plants that spread their pollen granules through the air, there are several hundred species that can cause an allergy. These are mainly plants with light-coloured blossoms that are not noticed by insects.
Grasses, trees, herbs, weeds and flowers produce pollen in different flowering periods. These different flowering periods form the so-called "pollen season". Alder and hazel trees flower as early as January/February and birch, for example, as early as March. The first grass pollen is spread by the wind as early as May. There are grasses that release pollen into September and herbs and weeds that bloom from May to November. So if you are allergic to these pollen, the pollen season can affect your overall health for much of the year. During the pollen season your symptoms will worsen particularly on warm days with moderate winds. Apps and online pages enable you to monitor the pollen forecast for current pollen loads.
Pollen from grasses, trees and plants can blow in from outside, load the indoor environment with allergens and thus cause hay fever symptoms in indoor areas as well.
Hay fever: what to do?
The hay fever season causes annoying symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose and itchy eyes for many people every year.
Hay fever season extra tough for asthmatics
1 in 8 people in Europe suffers from grass pollen or tree pollen allergy. Up to 80% of people with asthma also have allergies such as hay fever. For many asthmatics, it does not stop at unpleasant symptoms because asthma and hay fever are closely related. Not only do they suffer from hay fever, but asthma symptoms also increase as a result. The nose and lungs together make up our airways. If our upper airways are irritated by pollen, the result can be that the lungs also join in and the asthma symptoms worsen. The combination of asthma with allergy is often under-recognised.
About a quarter of the European population suffer from allergies. For these individuals, hay fever is therefore one of the main reasons they contact a doctor.
Along with spring begins the "Hay Fever Season", when the first pollen (birch, oak, hornbeam, hazel and alder) is already spreading. People with a pollen allergy are familiar with the problem and avoid being outdoors unnecessarily, as far as work allows.
Overview of pollen allergy symptoms and complaints.
The symptoms of an allergy to grass pollen, tree pollen or herb and weed pollen are very similar to a cold.
The most common complaints are: runny nose, stuffy nose, sneezing, itching, watery and itchy eyes, ticklish cough, shortness of breath, asthma symptoms (difficulty breathing, wheezing or coughing), fatigue, difficulty concentrating, poor sleep and headache.
