How Do I Know If I Have Seasonal Allergies?

Seasonal allergies — also known as hay fever or intermittent allergic rhinitis — are triggered by environmental allergens like pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds. These symptoms tend to follow a predictable pattern and often flare up during specific times of the year, such as spring and fall.

In contrast, persistent or perennial allergies occur year-round and are usually caused by indoor allergens like dust mites, mold spores, or pet dander. These ongoing exposures can result in chronic symptoms.

Types of Allergic Rhinitis

Both seasonal and persistent allergies fall under the umbrella of allergic rhinitis (AR), which affects the nasal passages and immune system response.

Common symptoms of AR may include:

  • Sneezing

  • Runny or stuffy nose

  • Itchy eyes, nose, or throat

  • Watery eyes

  • Fatigue or trouble sleeping due to congestion

About Allergies

The best way to identify your allergy triggers is through a clinical evaluation, which may include reviewing your symptoms, history, and, if needed, allergy testing such as skin-prick tests or blood tests. Common types include seasonal allergies (pollen), perennial allergies (dust, pet dander), food allergies, and contact allergies.

Seasonal allergies typically peak during spring and fall, when plants release pollen.

  • Spring: Tree pollen is a common trigger

  • Summer: Grass pollen is most prevalent

  • Fall: Weeds like ragweed dominate this season

Yes, but it helps to limit exposure during high-pollen days.
Tips include:

  • Checking local pollen forecasts

  • Wearing sunglasses and a mask

  • Showering and changing clothes after being outdoors

  • Use HEPA filters in your home

  • Keep windows closed during peak pollen hours

  • Rinse nasal passages with a saline spray

  • Use OTC antihistamines or nasal sprays as needed

  • Talk to a provider about personalized treatment options

Yes. People with allergies may have a higher risk of developing other atopic conditions such as:

  • Asthma

  • Eczema (atopic dermatitis)

  • Food allergies

This is known as the atopic march, where allergic conditions can develop or progress over time.
