Juniper Trees

Juniper trees, also known as cedar trees, produce amazing amounts of pollen each winter. For the people who suffer from a juniper allergy, this can be a miserable season. The symptoms of a juniper allergy are similar to many other pollen allergies, and only a doctor can diagnose exactly what you're allergic to. If you suffer from the symptoms below, see your doctor or allergist to seek a diagnosis and relief.

Itching
Itchy eyes, nose and throat are all caused by the irritating pollen. Juniper allergies can even cause an itchy palate and lips.

Running
A runny nose, excess tear activity in the eyes and nasal drainage that can cause sneezing and a sore throat are all symptoms of an allergic reaction to pollen.

Congestion
Nasal congestion, throat tightness and the sensation of the ears being plugged or filled with fluid are symptoms caused by juniper allergies.

Fatigue
Being extremely tired and lethargic are symptoms of an allergic reaction.

Läkaren jag träffade igår misstänkte att jag är allergisk mot så kallade Juniper Trees. Han gav mig Cetirizin och en super nässpray och sa åt mig att inte komma tillbaka om de hjälpte. Så nu testar jag de här i några dar och ser om de blir bättre. Symptomen stämmer då klockrent in i alla fall.
