Pollen Allergy Causes and Triggers

Pollen allergies (also called seasonal allergic rhinitis or hay fever) occur when a person is exposed to airborne pollen released by various trees, grasses and weeds. The immune system believes the pollen is a threat, then releases chemicals to counteract the perceived danger.

Pollen allergies are seasonal, meaning that symptoms are triggered when plants pollinate in spring, summer or fall. This fine powdery substance travels long distances with the wind and is hard to avoid, often entering the home through open windows or carried on clothing. Millions of people suffer with hay fever each year, and if you are being affected it’s important to find the appropriate treatment for your individual needs.

Our Pollen Allergy Treatment Process

At TexasAllergyMD we use proven allergy testing solutions to diagnose a pollen allergy. Skin prick allergy testing can be completed within an hour and confirm if pollen (or another substance) is responsible for triggering a reaction.

Dr. Mireku uses allergy test results to help create a personalized allergy management plan. For some patients, lifestyle changes to minimize pollen exposure along with medication to reduce the impact of symptoms could be appropriate.

We also support patients with innovative allergy treatment and immunotherapy services. Allergy shots (immunotherapy) and allergy drops (sublingual immunotherapy or SLIT) desensitize the immune system to pollen, offering a safe, long-term solution for chronic symptoms.

Common Questions About Pollen Allergies

What are the common symptoms of a pollen allergy?

Common symptoms of a pollen allergy include sneezing, a runny or stuffy nose, itchy or puffy eyes, coughing, wheezing and even fatigue. People with allergic asthma may also find their asthma symptoms worsen after exposure to pollen.

Is there a cure for pollen allergies?

There isn’t currently a permanent cure for pollen allergies, but various treatments can provide relief and help patients manage their symptoms. Immunotherapy treatments are the best option for reducing sensitivity to pollen and preventing severe reactions.

Can I be allergic to more than one type of pollen?

It is common for people to be allergic to more than one type of pollen, including pollen from trees, grasses and weeds. Pollen seasons vary by plant type, which means symptoms may appear multiple times of the year.
