5 COMMON SUMMER ALLERGIES AND HOW TO TREAT THEM

A few days ago, I went out with some friends to eat and one of them did not stop sneezing the whole time we were there. He told us that his allergy was due to the pollen of certain flowers and that every year, around this time, he got very sick.

But apparently, it is not the only type of allergy that is experienced this season, according to the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, there are 5 types of allergies to which special attention must be paid during the summer season, as reported by the Very Interesting magazine. Here I tell you what they are.

1/5

To the smoke of the barbecues and the bonfires

If you are allergic to the smoke of this type, it is recommended to avoid any situation that may cause an allergic reaction, such as roasting meat, a campfire while camping, etc. It is advisable for these people to always carry a non-sedating antihistamine in case they are accidentally exposed to smoke.

2/5

To chlorine

The chemical used in swimming pools can cause asthma in some people. In addition, chlorine intolerance causes symptoms such as dizziness, disorientation, discomfort, headache, fever, and dry skin. For those who suffer from this allergy, it is recommended to look for pools that use other ways to disinfect water, such as UV rays, salt, or ozone.

3/5

To insects

People who are allergic to insect bites should avoid being in places where mosquitoes accumulate. If you are allergic to bee or wasp stings, it is best to avoid being around sugary drinks in open environments, as this attracts these insects. It is advisable to carry an insecticide and load with epinephrine if the person has a severe allergy since this is used to treat bronchospasms.

4/5

To the fruit

Those who are allergic to pollen should avoid eating summer fruits such as peaches or melons because they can cause itching and rashes in the mouth. So the best thing is to resist the charms of these fruits of that season.

5/5

At time changes

Changes in the direction the wind blows cause pollen and mold to circulate, triggering allergic reactions. According to this source, pollen counts are highest in the first hour and mid-morning between 5 a.m. and 10 a.m., so it is recommended to reduce morning activities, outdoors, to reduce symptoms.
