Trees: The Real Allergy Culprit
- It's easy to blame flowers for spring allergies.
- However, trees are often the main culprits, releasing pollen into the air.
Allergy Explanation
- Allergies happen when your immune system overreacts to harmless substances like pollen.
- This overreaction causes inflammation and symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes.
Wind-Borne Pollen
- Trees like poplar, birch, and cypress (yuanbai/Chinese juniper) release wind-borne pollen.
- This type of pollen is more likely to cause allergies than pollen from flowers.
