February is here; before you know it, it will be March. That means spring isn't far off. For many of us, that means another season of spring allergies, or hay fever, lurks. It soon will be time to say hello to itchy eyes, runny noses, sneezing, and occasional fatigue (probably related to poor sleep), although it usually takes several weeks before our immune system gets naturally recalibrated and we can say good-bye on the back end to all that icky stuff. Better yet, maybe we can find relief a little sooner in the form of medications – many of them over the counter – such as antihistamines, which are devised and intended to relieve or even eliminate the worst of those pesky symptoms. When we say A is for antihistamines, we could also say that A is for allergies, as well. Per the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, as cited at everydayhealth.com, nasal allergies affect abut 50 million people in the United States (presumably on an annual basis). Lots of nose blowing, eye rubbing and even scratching about to get underway in droves.
