4. What is an allergy?
● An allergy is a chronic condition with an
abnormal reaction to an ordinarily harmless
substance.
● Reactions can occur due to pollen, animal
dander, or dust mites.
● With an allergy, your immune system
views allergens as intruders and a chain
reaction occurs.
● During this reaction, antobodies cause
symptoms including sneezing, stuffy or
runny nose, tearing eyes, and/or sinus
pressure.
5. Environmental Allergies
Allergic Rhinitis
If your suffer from allergic
rhinitis, your immune system
mistakenly identifies a
typically harmless substance
as an intruder.
Non-Allergic Rhinitis
Nonallergic rhinitis usually
affects adults and causes
year-round symptoms,
especially runny nose and
nasal congestion.
Sinusitis
Chronic sinus disease can
lead to congestion, coughing,
sinus pressure and related
symptoms. This can be a
consequence of either
allergic or nonallergic rhinitis.
6. Treatments for Environmental Allergies
Once an environmental allergy is
diagnosed, Dr. Haymore will work
with you to develop a plan to treat
and control your symptoms. If you
are allergic, avoiding triggers is
key.
With environmental allergies, such

best way to subside your allergies.
