There are three main types of pollen that cause allergies
- Tree pollen
- Grass pollen
- Weed pollen
It happens when the immune system begins to produce chemicals including histamine to fight against the pollen. This is known as an allergic reaction, and the specific type of pollen that causes it is known as an allergen. The allergic reaction leads to numerous irritating symptoms:
- Sneezing
- Stuffy nose
- Watery eyes
