10. Changes in Immune System Response
Changes in immune system response due to factors such as age, medication, and overall health can also contribute to worsening allergies. As people age, their immune systems can become less effective at distinguishing between harmful and harmless substances, leading to increased allergic reactions. Certain medications can also affect immune function and exacerbate allergies.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that maintaining overall health through a balanced diet, regular exercise, and adequate sleep can support immune function and help manage allergy symptoms. Understanding how the immune system changes impact allergies can help individuals take proactive steps to mitigate their effects.
Conclusion
Several factors can contribute to why your allergies might be worse this year. Climate change, increased air pollution, changes in plant behavior, urbanization, and extended allergy seasons are just a few reasons behind the heightened allergy symptoms. Additionally, indoor allergens, cross-reactivity with food allergens, stress, and changes in immune system response can exacerbate allergies.
By understanding these factors and taking proactive measures, such as managing indoor air quality, reducing stress, and staying informed about environmental changes, you can better manage your allergy symptoms. While some factors may be beyond individual control, awareness, and appropriate actions can help alleviate the impact of worsening allergies.
