Everyone knows it: Hay fever. As widespread as the word is so unclear it. Hay fever, the disease has neither hay nor fever to do. Doctors also use different words pollinose, seasonal allergic rhinitis or pollenrhinopathie example.
Hay fever, such as, asthma or neurodermatitis, a group of diseases that cause all the same in the body can be traced to. The cause is allergic to substances in the environment such as flower or grass pollen. These work as allergens and cause an immunological reaction. The tendency to such a reaction is what truly innate chin. Certain environmental factors can, however, the probability that a full allergy, increase. Fine dust is an example.
These sensitive individuals introduced the first contact with an allergen to the production of natural antibodies in the body, called anti-bodies. From that time the body recognizes ordinary daily occurring substances in the environment suddenly as dangerous. The body is allergic “to” put. Over time the body develops in contact with the allergen more antibodies, and finally comes when an allergic reaction Places the find. On contact with the allergen from then the body reacts to the allergen as a foreign body substance must fight, and one is really ill, for example, grass or flower pollen.
On contact with the allergen connect the anti-allergen and the bodies themselves, and forcing some cells to the emission of a substance transfer. An example is transfer substance histamine. Histamine is a biologically highly active substance that occurs throughout our bodies. The effect of histamine will be familiar to anyone who has ever touched a nettle. Histamine dilates small blood vessels. This creates a red rash. From blood vessels into the surrounding tissue fluid is included, and there arises a swelling. It is the activity of the glands increased.
If this inflammatory reaction in the nose occurs, one sees the typical symptoms of hay fever:
* Snotty, high moisture loss through the nose.
* Nasal congestion by swelling of the lining.
* Violent and frequent sneezing attacks, violent sneeze.
* Itching.
The eyes are affected by allergic reactions:
* Red eyes.
* Itchy eyes.
* Burning sensation.
* Sensitivity to light.
* Eyes watering.
There are many other complaints. Such a patient may be very different. Thus there itching in the ears and mouth occur, but also headache, fatigue, weariness and irritation occur.
In any event that this condition affects people strong, and strong symptoms the patient has great difficulty in his daily life as before to continue. The exercise of the profession and leisure activities can be similarly difficult.
Furthermore, in an untreated allergy after several years created new allergies. There may even arise allergic asthma.
