hi, im 40 yrs old, female, have suffered from hayfever (allergy to ragweed pollen) since i was 13. i was wondering if there is any scientific explanation for why my hayfever would get so much worse when it rains. it doesnt make any sense to me but my symptoms are 100 times worse when it rains. and, no, im not allergic to mold.
Hi and thanks for the query, There are only two conditions for the allergic condition to increase. First, may be rainfall increases the quantity of the substance you are allergic to when it rains (allergen), or your system is allergic generally to rainfall conditions (moisture or temperature associated. It is difficult to think rainfall could have any severe physiologic influences on your immune system. Kind regards
