In Ingested poisoning and carbon monoxide poisoning, how does a person get this disease? Is it genetic? Is it contagious?
Hay fever, also called allergic rhinitis, is a common ailment in the spring. People who experience hay fever have sensitive immune systems that respond to pollen in the air. When pollen, the allergen, enters the airways, the inflammatory response is triggered, even though pollen is not a dangerous molecule. Symptoms include inflammation of the airways, nasal congestion, and watery eyes. While there is currently no cure for hay fever, people suffering from it often take antihistamines, medications that inhibit the action of histamine. How would this help the condition?
