Nasal allergy, also called allergic rhinitis or hay fever, is an allergic reaction of the body (mainly the upper respiratory tract and eyes) to certain substances – allergens – that we breathe in. The main allergens are pollens, molds, animal dander and dust. Allergy is nothing but an over-sensitivity of our defense system. This means that our immune system (defense system) starts reacting to a substance which is otherwise harmless to our body. In other words, it is a misdirected immune attack. Pollens are usually the main culprits. Even though these allergens are not dangerous, our immune system overreacts and releases histamine. This histamine is a chemical which is meant to defend these allergens.
