Hay fever is one
of the most common allergies. It affects people during the pollen
season. Hay fever manifests because the immune system can not recognize harmless
agents such as pollen and dust and reacts in an exaggerated manner producing antibodies.
When these antibodies are stimulated by pollen, the nose begins to produce histamines,
a chemical that results in itching, sneezing, burning and irritation of eyes,
and nasal flow. The most common treatment for hay fever is the use of antihistamines
such as loratadine and diphenhydramine hydrochloride. Natural
