Know your enemy by sight: plant allergens
Allergenic plants can be divided into three large categories depending on the time of flowering: spring, summer and summer-autumn. The first group includes trees, the second includes meadow grasses and cereals, and the third includes weeds.
It is worth saying that predominantly wind-pollinated plants are considered allergenic due to the high concentration of their pollen in the air. Pollen from insect-pollinated plants is present in the air in very small quantities, and therefore they are considered relatively harmless. These plants can be identified by the bright colors of their flowers and strong smell, which serve to attract insects.
Tree flowering: April – May
The hay fever season opens at the end of March - beginning of April, when the willow blooms. Following this, willow, alder and hazel bloom in April, then aspen and poplar. By the way, contrary to popular belief, poplar fluff itself does not cause allergies: its danger lies in its ability to transfer pollen from other, more allergenic plants - including conifers and cereals.
At the beginning of May, birch, maple, oak begin to bloom, coniferous trees and large shrubs - apple tree, hawthorn, cherry, viburnum - bloom.
Flowering of cereal plants: June – August
During the three summer months, intensive flowering of meadow plants and cereals occurs. In June, dandelion, thistle, and foxtail begin to bloom, and linden also blooms in central Russia. In July, fescue, timothy, bluegrass, wheatgrass, elecampane, motherwort, and datura bloom. In August, carnations, cornflowers, wormwood and ragweed begin to bloom.
Summer is the most dangerous time for people prone to allergies, since it is during the summer that most known allergenic plants bloom simultaneously. Depending on sensitivity to one or another of them, a person can suffer an acute outbreak of hay fever several times during the season.
Flowering of weeds: August – October
In early autumn, most weeds bloom - quinoa, wormwood, nettle, foxglove, ragweed. At the end of September, flowering gradually stops, but pollen still remains in the air for some time. It happens that pollen settles on tree branches and fallen leaves, so the risk of allergies continues until mid-October.

Treatment and prevention
In modern medicine, so-called allergen-specific immunotherapy, or ASIT, is used to treat allergies, including hay fever. This method is based on a gradual decrease in the body's sensitivity to a specific allergen and works on the principle of a vaccine: weak doses of the allergen are systematically administered to the patient over a long period of time. As a result of therapy, the body gets used to interacting with the allergen, adapts and develops a less destructive reaction mechanism to this irritant. The effectiveness of ASIT has been scientifically proven and confirmed by the results of studies conducted around the world.
The duration of ASIT is, on average, from 2 to 5 years, with a noticeable effect from treatment occurring after one year of therapy. As a rule, the allergen is injected into the patient under the skin, but in some cases - including severe fear of injections in children - it is placed under the tongue. It is recommended to start ASIT for hay fever several months before the start of flowering - preferably in winter.
To relieve the symptoms of hay fever, antihistamines, nasal and eye drops are used. If allergies also manifest themselves in the form of skin reactions, it is necessary to use ointments and creams with anti-inflammatory and antihistamine effects.
An allergist will help you draw up a detailed course of treatment. It is advisable to visit it before the dangerous season begins - it is best to do this in late autumn or winter. When diagnosing hay fever, skin allergy testing, a blood test and a cytological examination of a smear of the nasal mucosa may be necessary. The data obtained will help the doctor when drawing up a treatment program and preventive recommendations.
Preventive measures for hay fever:
- Wet cleaning your home more often
will help reduce the amount of pollen in the air. If possible, ventilate the room through a window curtained with a damp cloth to trap pollen particles coming from the street. It is advisable to dry washed items indoors to prevent pollen from settling. - Eliminate potentially dangerous foods from your diet.
Allergy sufferers are advised to avoid consuming any type of honey as it may contain allergenic pollen. If you are sensitive to pollen from cereal plants, reduce the consumption of cereals and their derivatives - porridge, sunflower oil, seeds, halva, kozinaki. If the allergic reaction is caused mainly by tree pollen, you should eat less fruits, nuts and berries. Regardless of the type of allergen, it is recommended to stop taking various herbal remedies. - Rinse your throat and nose thoroughly when returning from the street.
When outside the home, keep wet wipes with you and periodically wipe exposed areas of your body with them, particularly your face and hands. It is advisable to store street clothes separately from the rest. - Don't neglect your wellness treatments.
Today, there are many practices available to improve the health of the respiratory system. Haloghygiene - visiting salt rooms and haloinhalation - is one of the most effective and simple methods of combating respiratory diseases and hay fever: tiny particles of salt settling on the walls of the mucous membrane of the eyes and respiratory organs have a powerful cleansing effect and relieve inflammation. Halohygiene sessions can be performed outside the home, visiting a salt cave, or at home using special devices - haloinhalers.

What is hay fever?
Hay fever, or allergic rhinitis, is a seasonal chronic disease that occurs due to the increased sensitivity of the human body to pollen from various plants.
Exacerbation of hay fever occurs in the warm season - late spring, summer and early autumn. The widely accepted historical name for this disease is “hay fever.” This unique term was proposed in 1819 by the English physician John Bostock: annually observing the characteristic symptoms of lacrimation, runny nose and sneezing, the doctor suggested that their appearance was associated with hay, which is harvested in the summer. However, already in 1873 it was proven that pollen is the cause of the development of hay fever.
Causes of hay fever
For a person who is not prone to an allergic reaction, the pollen of a flowering plant is absolutely harmless. The body of an allergy sufferer perceives the smallest particles of pollen as harmful elements and, when interacting with them, reproduces a powerful inflammatory response - a kind of counterattack, during which the cells and tissues of the body itself are damaged.
Pollen of some plants under a microscope (magnification 500 times).
In the case of hay fever, this occurs mainly in the summer - during the flowering period. Wind-pollinated plants pose a particular danger: their pollen has the ability to be transported by air and travel long distances. As a result, the air becomes saturated with tiny pollen particles up to 0.04 mm in size, which easily penetrate the respiratory tract and settle on the mucous membranes, provoking the development of an allergic reaction.
Depending on geographical features, hay fever can be observed in a significant proportion of the region’s population – up to 20%. As a rule, residents of northern regions suffer from pollen allergies much less often than residents of southern territories, although they cannot be completely excluded from the risk group. Moreover, the development of hay fever can be genetically determined: if both parents are prone to allergies, their child will also become allergic with a probability of 70-80%.
Symptoms of hay fever
The main affected area for hay fever is the eyes and respiratory organs. Patients experience a runny nose, swelling of the nasal mucosa, and sneezing attacks that appear at night or early in the morning. A dry cough often appears, accompanied by a sore throat: unlike a cough caused by ARVI, it lasts more than two weeks and is recognized by the characteristic sensation of itching and irritation. With hay fever, the mucous membrane of the eyes becomes inflamed, watery and red.
Depending on the severity of the allergic reaction, headaches, increased fatigue, weakness and loss of appetite may occur with hay fever. In particularly severe cases of the disease, as well as in the case of improper treatment, the patient may develop quite serious complications - including sinusitis, purulent conjunctivitis, bronchitis and pneumonia. In this regard, people prone to hay fever are advised to take a responsible approach to summer preventive measures.
