Pollen Allergist In Leesburg, VA
Testing And Treatment Of Seasonal Allergies
When it comes to seasonal environmental allergies, for most people pollen is the most common trigger for sneezing, runny noses and itchy eyes. Pollen allergies or “seasonal allergic rhinitis” can occur in the spring, summer or fall as plants release tiny pollen grains to fertilize other plants. Most of the pollens that cause allergic reactions come from trees, weeds and grasses.
