What is Pollen?
Anyone can develop seasonal allergies. It is also possible to suffer from allergies for a few years and then have them disappear overnight. Allergies can start at any age in life, with symptoms appearing from birth to adulthood.
Allergies are more common in children because they are sensitive and at risk.
But it has been shown that the people most at risk of suffering from this unpleasant condition are1:
- People who have family members who already have allergies.
- Men. Indeed, men are more sensitive than women.
- The elders of the family.
- People exposed to tobacco smoke (especially in early childhood).
- People exposed to the presence of mites.
- Elderly people and children.
How can we help these people to fight against allergies?
Of course, in the case of severe allergies, it is advisable to consult a medical specialist.
In addition, the use of an air purifier (preferably without an expensive HEPA filter, which is polluting and of limited effectiveness), if it cannot cure your allergy, will at least help to remove the airborne allergens around you, and therefore greatly relieve you.
