Hay fever is a common allergic condition that affects millions of people around the world, especially during spring and summer when plants release freshly blooming pollen into the air.
People with hay fever often experience cold-like symptoms, like sneezing, itchy eyes, runny noses, headaches, and breathing discomfort after coming into contact with pollen. While trees and grasses are major causes of seasonal allergies, certain flowers and garden plants can also trigger strong allergic reactions because of their high pollen levels.
Many people choose flowers for their beauty, fragrance, or decorative value without realizing that some plants can worsen allergy symptoms.
