Description

This article is from the Children Allergies and Asthma FAQ, by Eileen Kupstas Soo kupstas@cs.unc.edu with numerous contributions by others.

1.2 Inhalants

The most common inhaled allergen is dust! More precisely, dust mites
and their wastes (every house has them, no matter how clean).
Other:

- mold
- pollen (ie. hayfever)
- animal dander (especially cats)
- chemicals
- perfumes


Most common symptoms:

- CLEAR runny nose and sneezing
- itchy or stuffed nose
- itchy, runny eyes
- lethargy
- asthma

Symptoms are generally worst in the early morning, for 2 reasons:

1. pollen counts are highest
2. you've been sleeping for hours in a room filled with dust
and/or mold
