Red Eyes During Allergy Season

What causes red eyes during allergy season and is there hope?

It doesn’t take more than 5 minutes to be ambushed by pollen and mold spores once you close your front door.  It is an endless battle and why over 5 million people despise allergy season. 

Between the already pollen-laden air and lawn mowers and weed eaters blasting loathsome grass pollen and mold spores in a 360 degree arc it is no wonder our eyes glow red and swell like ripe melons.  And one has to wonder why even after drops and cold compresses our eyes continue to feel raw and packed with sand.

As with all people who have allergies, your immune system suffers from a deplorable lack of self-control.  At one point a single allergen entered your body and your immune system mistook it for evil and set off a chain of events that would eventually cause you major despair.  And now, even the tiniest particle of benign pollen can cause the apocalypse of all allergy attacks.
 

The attack triggers the release of histamines. As they are released into your system, they cause the tissue in your body to swell so that immune cells can enter and fight to the death all invaders.  The reason for the itchy red eyes is the immune cells don’t just enter into your body, they also leak out of your body, hence the vampire eyes.

And though turning your eyes and nose into a working faucet help flush out the pollen, it can also lead to a dreadful time outside.  Luckily, there is hope. 

Sublingual Immunotherapy is a method of allergy treatment that uses an allergen solution given under the tongue. Over time, sensitivity to allergens are reduced. In 1998 the World Health Organization concluded that Sublingual Immunotherapy was a viable alternative to the injection route and that its use in clinical practice is justified.

Allergena has developed allergy relief for where youlive.  Each formula is geographically zoned for the specific trees and grasses known to cause allergy symptoms.
