Spring is in the air!
Along with pollen and germs..
Now that Spring has arrived many of my friends are suffering from allergies. They have watery eyes, an itchy throat, and struggle controlling their sneezing. Allergies are classified as an abnormal response of the immune system to typically harmless substances such as pollen, bee venom, or pet dander. When a person with allergies detects an allergen the immune system triggers the B cells to begin antibody production to protect and fight off what it believes to be a harmful pathogen. As a result, their body will do a chain of reactions to destroy and get rid of the pseudopathogen. Thankfully for them, there are available medications that they can take to control their allergies. For example, antihistamines and decongestants. Antihistamines block the histamines that are produced as a result of detected allergen, which cause a person to have a runny nose and watery eyes. Decongestants shrink blood vessels and tissues that have been swollen and affected due to allergies. So, while the picture of the cute little girl is what some of my friends are going through this season, the following is how I will be enjoying this lovely season
