Pollen counts have soared more than 20% in the last three decades, making this spring especially challenging for allergy sufferers.
SAN DIEGO — Spring has sprung, and with it, the familiar chorus of sneezes, sniffles, and itchy eyes.
“Itchy eyes, itchy nose, scratchy throat, cough, sometimes trouble breathing,” said Joshua Sugay, physician assistant atin Point Loma. “Sometimes when people come in, they don’t know if it’s allergies or if they’re getting a cold.” “What I usually prescribe them is nasal sprays or antihistamines during this season just to kind of help with their symptoms,” said Sugay.As far as aggravating your allergies, there are a few unexpected culprits that can make them worse, like wearing contact lenses.
Sap allergens diffusing into the air from some common houseplants can trigger symptoms, with ficus, yucca, ivy, palm, orchid, and fern varieties being the main offenders.“If you’re swimming in chlorine, it can definitely trigger some allergic responses or irritation in the airway, especially if it’s poor ventilation,” said Sugay. “So try swimming outside or in saltwater.”
