A pollen allergy is a type of seasonal allergic rhinitis that is often referred to as hay fever. Pollen allergies are caused by particles from trees, weeds, and grass entering the nose and throat. Pollen is the most widespread of all allergens.1 It is recommended to try to avoid pollen by staying indoors when pollen counts are high.2
Fast Facts:
