More about allergies…
From sniffles to inflammation and teary eyes – no one likes allergies. They impact your life and make enjoying everyday things tricky.
There are remedies out there that can help though, so let’s explore allergies and how you can tackle them.

- Itch, watering eyes
- Insect bites and stings
- Latex
- Mould
- Household Chemicals
- Animal Dander
The symptoms of an allergy…
There are a lot of similar symptoms to contend with, but these vary with each allergy. These common symptoms usually appear within minutes of exposure, so look out for:
- Sneezing
- Red and itchy inflammation
- Itch, watering eyes
- Worsening Asthma or eczema
- Blocked or runny nose
Do Allergies ever go away?
Your immune system is in a constant state of change as you grow, so you may find that your allergy symptoms are far less severe than in previous years. However, it’s unlikely for the allergy to disappear completely.
Can you suddenly develop an allergy?
Anyone can develop an allergy, no matter their age. It could be that you had a severe episode when you were younger, then the symptoms disappeared until they were triggered again by something like having a pet for the first time or being exposed when your immune system is underperforming.
Natural allergy remedies
Treating the symptoms of your allergy is straightforward. You start by removing and avoiding the allergen, then start to treat the symptoms with things like antihistamines, decongestants, and lotions.
Things like pollen barrier creams and sprays or immunity-boosting vitamins can help too.
