Understanding Seasonal Allergies

Seasonal allergies (hay fever/allergic rhinitis) affect 20% of the global population, triggered by airborne substances like:

• Pollen (tree/grass/weed)

• Mold spores

• Dust mites

Key Terms Explained:

1. Pollen Count: Grains per cubic meter (grains/m³) measuring airborne allergens

2. Symptom Severity Scale: 1-10 rating system for nasal/ocular/respiratory discomfort

3. Antihistamines: Medications blocking histamine release during allergic reactions

How the Calculator Works: Behind the Scenes

The algorithm evaluates 5 critical components:

1. Demographic Analysis

   • Biological sex impacts immune response patterns

   • Age-adjusted histamine production rates

2. Environmental Risk Assessment

   Pollen Risk Formula: (Current Pollen Count ÷ Annual Peak) × 100 = Exposure %

3. Symptom Load Calculator

   • Nasal congestion

   • Itchy eyes

   • Respiratory distress

Interpreting Your Results

Case Study Example:

• 32-year-old female, 65kg, pollen count 200 grains/m³, symptom severity 7/10

• Calculated Risk: 68/100 → Moderate-High

• Recommended Kit:

  1. Fexofenadine 180mg tablets

  2. Fluticasone nasal spray

  3. HEPA air purifier

Proactive Allergy Prevention Strategies

1. Environmental Control

   • Monitor local pollen forecasts

   • Install high-efficiency HVAC filters (MERV 13+)

2. Medical Interventions

   • Immunotherapy options:

     • Sublingual tablets

     • Allergy shots

3. Lifestyle Modifications

   • Post-outdoor activity hygiene protocol:

     1. Shower immediately

     2. Wash clothes separately

     3. Saline nasal rinse

Q: How often should I recalculate my risk?
A: Biweekly during allergy season or after significant weather changes

Q: Can children use this calculator?
*A: Designed for ages 12+. Consult a pediatrician for younger children*

Q: Does humidity affect results?
A: Indirectly, high humidity increases mold risk (future update feature)
