Allergies
are something that affects millions of people worldwide, but till today there
is no specific cure for this problem. One of the main reasons is shortlisting
and confirming the exact allergen that is causing the problem.
One of the
most common allergies that troubles people in Europe and other continents
annually is grass pollen allergy which manifests itself with symptoms like runny nose,
itchy eyes, and sneezing to name a few. The European Academy of Allergy and
Clinical Immunology or EAACI has many researchers and scientists researching
and collating data from other research societies worldwide in its bid to study and
inform people about this silent menace.
It is
well-known that grass pollen allergy which causes hay fever has been recorded in the 19th
century, but with thousands of species of grasses all over Europe, finding out
which pollen is the culprit was next to impossible. Currently, the EAACI is
using the latest technologies at their disposal along with new research to find
ways to combat this perennial problem. For now, the best remedy is to try and
avoid avoiding grasses during spring and summer, when pollen concentration is
at its highest.
In its most severe form, grass pollen allergy sufferers could have severe shortness of breath along with other common symptoms. In these cases, patients may have no other option but to resort to immunotherapy; the regular standbys of allergy tablets and antihistamine nasal sprays will bring some relief from this problem to patients with less life-threatening symptoms.
