What Causes Allergies and Why Are They Getting Worse?
This article explains how allergies arise when the immune system overreacts to harmless substances like pollen, dust mites, foods, or pet dander, and why rates are increasing due to factors such as genetics, urban living, air pollution, climate change (longer, more potent pollen seasons), and shifts in the microbiome linked to modern hygiene and diet. It translates these trends into practical steps for patients and caregivers—recognizing triggers, improving indoor air quality, monitoring pollen and pollution, and using evidence-based treatments like antihistamines, nasal steroids, and allergen immunotherapy. Readers will find clear guidance on when to seek specialist care, how to build a personalized management plan, and ways to reduce day-to-day symptoms, empowering families with reliable, current information.
