Well over 25 million, persons in the USA suffer from the seasonal sneezes, runny nose, and itchy eyes with hay fever season. But there are really three hay fever seasons, caused by the different types of pollen during different times of the year. Tree pollens appear first, normally between the months of February to May, based on the local climate. However, the worst problems appear in late spring and summer, because both tree and grass pollens occur and of course people are outside more often. Fall is the ragweed pollen season Depending on which pollen or pollens a person is allergic to, hay fever may happen at any one or all of these times of the year. Person's who suffer from hay fever will usually suffer from other atopic disorders, such as asthma and dermatitis. Those who suffer from hay fever symptoms throughout the year are said to have perennial rhinitis. The symptoms may be triggered by animal hair, dust, feathers, fungus spores, or some other environmental item.
