 Something in the Air: Airborne Allergens
When is sneezing not a symptom of a cold? Very
often, when it represents an allergic reaction to something in the air. It is estimated
that 35 million Americans suffer from upper respiratory allergic reactions to airborne
pollen. Pollen allergy, commonly called hay fever, is one of the most common chronic
diseases in the United States. Worldwide, airborne dust causes the most problems for
people with allergies. The respiratory symptoms of asthma, which affects approximately 15
million Americans, are often provoked by airborne allergens (substances that cause an
allergic reaction).
Allergic diseases are among the major causes of
illness and disability in the United States, affecting as many as 40 to 50 million
Americans. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, a component of the
National Institutes of Health, conducts and supports research on allergic diseases. The
goals of this research are to provide a better understanding of the cause of allergy, to
improve the methods for diagnosing and treating allergic reactions, and eventually to
prevent allergies. This booklet summarizes what is known about the causes and symptoms of
allergic reactions to airborne allergens, how these reactions are diagnosed and treated,
and what medical researchers are doing to help people who suffer from these allergies. |
