Winter allergies

Introduction

It's a common misconception that there is no such thing as winter allergies. But the reality is that you can still have allergies during the colder months and even manage them with proper medication and treatment.

There is no such thing as winter allergies!

You may have heard that there is no such thing as winter allergies. This isn’t true! Allergies are caused by a reaction to something you're exposed to, like pollen or dust. In fact, some people who have seasonal allergies will still have them year-round even if they don't live in an area where pollen count is high (and therefore, the chances of contracting an allergy increase).

The good news: once you understand what causes your seasonal allergies and how they work, it will help you make better decisions about which treatments are right for you.

The colder months are not allergy-free, but you can manage your allergy symptoms in them.

  • If you're looking to manage your allergies in the winter and beyond, it's important to understand that there are some things you can do to reduce exposure. For example:

  • Try not to be outside during pollen season when it's windy or cold.

  • Avoid being around trees with leaves that are still on the trees (for example, don't go for a walk near the woods).

  • If possible, wear a hat at all times when outdoors so that pollen doesn't blow into your face.

Conclusion

The cold weather may bring on some of your allergy symptoms, but it doesn’t have to rule you out of enjoying life. You can take steps to manage your allergy symptoms indoors and outside during the winter months. And even if you don’t have allergies, it’s still worth paying attention to your health because the more you know about how your body works in different environments, the better equipped you will be when those unexpected situations arise – like being stuck outdoors without an umbrella!
