Weed Pollen Allergy

Weed pollen allergy is a common allergic reaction caused by pollen released from various plants classified as weeds, such as ragweed, sagebrush, and pigweed. When inhaled, this pollen can trigger symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and sometimes more severe reactions, especially in sensitive individuals. These symptoms occur because the immune system mistakenly identifies the pollen as a threat, leading to an inflammatory response. Weeds typically release their pollen in late summer and fall, making this a seasonal allergy for many. Managing it often involves avoiding triggers, using antihistamines, or seeking medical advice for treatment options.
