How can I stop my allergies in the spring?

What triggered my seasonal Allergies and can I stop it?

• Your Open QuestionShow me another » What triggered my seasonal Allergies and can I stop it? I only began experiencing symptoms of seasonal allergies when I was in 8th grade (13 years old).From then, on, every spring season I get itchy eyes, runny nose, stuffy nose, sneezing, etc. why did it start so late, is there something that could have triggered it, meaning i could have prevented it, and will I stop experiencing allergies when I'm older? I have a guess but its completely theoretical. 8th grade was the fist year school became very very intense and I began pulling all nighters and having really intense work sessions (all of them very very very unnecessarily difficult. I still hate that damned Science teacher to this day. he didnt know what he was doing and instead of learning science, at the end of the year all of the kids learned how to cheat. Not only that he tried to defame one of the best teachers in the world, only for it to backfire against him. Anyways, tmi?.) So maybe that might have hurt my immune system. Highschool has also been very very stressful so maybe my allergies thrive on that.

• Answer:

  I have this too! But no, you're allergic to something, it's just really hard to figure out what. Every spring, I get this; it doesn't last long, though, and a lot of people get it too. It's fairly common, especially at the beginning of spring as lots of pollen and dust are floating around everywhere.
