How It Happens

Step by Step

A quick walkthrough of what's actually going on, so the treatment makes sense too.

  1. 1
    Exposure. You breathe in or come into contact with an allergen, such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, or mold spores.
  2. 2
    Misidentification. Your immune system mistakes the harmless particle for a threat, the same way it would react to a virus or bacteria.
  3. 3
    Histamine release. Immune cells release histamine and other chemicals to "fight" the allergen.
  4. 4
    Inflammation. Histamine causes blood vessels in your nose, eyes, and throat to swell and become more permeable.
  5. 5
    Symptoms appear. That swelling and irritation is what shows up as sneezing, congestion, watery eyes, and throat irritation.

Signs to Watch For

Common Symptoms

How We Help

We start with testing to pinpoint your specific triggers, since "allergies" can mean very different things from one patient to the next. From there, treatment may combine medication, changes to your environment, and immunotherapy (allergy shots or drops), built around what you actually react to.

When to See a Specialist

If your symptoms last most of the year, don't respond to over-the-counter medication, or start affecting your sleep or work, it's worth a proper evaluation rather than another trip to the pharmacy aisle.
