These substances called allergens initiate an immune response causing particular cells in the eyes and nose to release inflammatory histamines. These histamines inflame and irritate membranes of the eyes and nose causing a typical allergic reaction including blocked noses, runny noses, sneezing, and coughing and eye itchiness, amongst others. Secondly, for hay fever to attack, you ought to be exposed to or come into contact with an alergênio. Therefore to decrease the symptoms of hay fever you will need to avoid exposure as much as possible.
