Allergies are caused when the body overreacts to a particular substance such as pollen, dust or cat hair.
Allergies are becoming an increasing health concern. It is estimated that 15-20 million people in the UK suffer from an allergy. Allergies involving food and dust mites are on the rise, and usually, a cure for such allergies is not possible. However, in many cases uncomfortable symptoms can be soothed and, in the case of food allergy, alternative products can be found.
Throughout the spring and summer, hay fever (or seasonal allergic rhinitis) is a condition caused by an allergy to airborne pollen.
Allergy sufferers experience a range of symptoms including: a runny, itchy and sore nose, headaches, itchy eyes, sneezing and rashes. Although the condition cannot be cured its symptoms can be significantly relieved.
