Allergies are a sensitivity of your immune system’s response to something that is perceived as a threat; your body goes into action to get rid of the danger before it can harm you. Seasonal allergies usually begin in the spring-time when pollen from plants, trees, and grass are in high gear and subside as the season changes. Perennial allergies can affect you year-round and can be triggered by pet dander, mold, and dust mites when you are indoors and you can be confronted with smoke, fumes, exhaust and other environmental factors outdoors.
