Not everyone is born allergic to pollen, dust and pet dander. In fact, babies typically never show signs of sensitivity to pollen because they haven't been exposed to the elements long enough. Yet as people age, there's a good chance they'll have to manage allergies.
If you think you're beginning to come down with spring allergy symptoms for the first time, how can you be sure? Here are two signs:
1. You can't go outdoors without sneezing
If you spend a lot of time outdoors and don't sneeze, wheeze and tear up, you'll notice a drastic change when you have allergies. Soon after breathing in that fresh spring air, you'll feel your body reacting abnormally, and you'll struggle to control it.
One advantage that other allergy sufferers have over you is their bodies have likely had weeks to prepare for the onslaught of pollen. In other words, they began taking allergy medication well before pollen season began, allowing their bodies enough time to build up a defense. For you, the best first step is to immediately visit an allergy specialist. He or she can plan your next course of action, which will likely include administering an allergy test and medication.
2. You can't clean your home without crying
Even with the windows closed and the AC on, you find yourself sneezing uncontrollably and crying while cleaning. Dust, mold and pet allergies are very common and could be contributing to your symptoms. However, don't count out pollen. Pollen can be dragged in by shoes and clothing or seep in through cracks in the home or open doorways. To rule it out, visit a specialist. If he or she finds you're only allergic to dust, mold or pets, the doctor can outline a plan that will allow you to clean without succumbing to sneezing fits.
