inhalant allergens

Inhalant allergens are substances in the air that can trigger allergic reactions when breathed in. Common examples include pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds; mold spores; dust mites; and pet dander. For some people, exposure to these triggers causes symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, or asthma symptoms. These allergens are prevalent in the environment and vary with seasons or indoor conditions. Understanding inhalant allergens helps in managing allergies by reducing exposure and, if needed, using medications to control symptoms.
