If you are one of the millions of Americans who experience summertime allergies, you may want to control your seasonal symptoms with this allergy sufferer\u2019s survival guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summer allergies occur when your immune system tries to defend your body against substances that are harmless to others causing itchy or watery eyes, sneezing, wheezing, and an itchy, stuffy or runny nose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About 50 million Americans suffer from year-round allergies to mold, dust, and pets. However, summer allergies are the mostly triggered by trees, pollen, leaves, grasses and ragweed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There isn\u2019t a cure for allergies, but there are ways you can find relief.  If you symptoms are minor, there are over-the-counter antihistamines or nasal sprays that may help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most important thing to remember is that you do not have to suffer unnecessarily.  If over\u2013 the-counter remedies aren\u2019t working, then it\u2019s probably a good idea to seek the advice of a doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
