Pollen and Mold Spore Counts

Children and adults with seasonal allergic rhinitis, or "hay fever," may experience sneezing, stuffiness, a runny nose, post-nasal drip and itchiness in your nose, the roof of your mouth, throat, eyes or ears. These allergic reactions occur after pollen and mold spores land in your passages (nose, eyes, throat). A chemical reaction or allergic cascade is triggered, causing these allergy symptoms. The first steps to keeping one’s “allergies” under control and staying healthy includes identification of the airborne substances, called allergens, which trigger these reactions.
