What causes hay fever?

Hay fever is the term given to the allergic reaction many people suffer from pollen, which are tiny particles found on plants. When pollen comes into contact with the cells that line a person’s eyes, mouth, nose and throat, it can trigger an allergic reaction.

Although the immediate symptoms can come as a surprise and be quite frustrating, the allergic reaction many suffer is basically a case of the body overreacting to the pollen. This causes the immune system to release various chemicals intended to prevent the spread of what it mistakenly perceives to be an infection. The chemicals released themselves cause the aforementioned symptoms.

There are multiple types of pollen that people can be allergic to, but by far the most prolific form is grass pollen, to which 90% of hay fever sufferers are allergic. Although it is unclear what causes the immune system to react in the way it does, several factors are known to increase your risk of suffering from hay fever, including:

• Suffering from another allergic condition, such as asthma or eczema
• Exposure to tobacco smoke at an early age 
• Having other members of your family suffer from hay fever

How does hay fever affect your eyes?

Hay fever can cause your eyes various forms of discomfort. Primarily, it results in symptoms such as irritation and itchiness, watery eyes and redness. In more severe cases, hay fever sufferers can suffer from swollen eyelids.
