Allergies affect millions of people in the US every year. Despite their prevalence, there are still a few common myths about allergies. Some of which may be impacting your choices when it comes to treating your allergy symptoms.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, this is not true. While the majority of allergies develop when a person is in childhood, adults can get allergies as well. It\u2019s not at all uncommon for people to become allergic to something in their 20s or 30s, or sometimes even older. This can be an allergy to something you\u2019ve encountered for the first time as an adult or something that never used to bother you that now causes symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if you never had a problem with hay fever before but now find yourself congested<\/a> during springtime walks through Blue Heron Nature Preserve<\/a>, it could be adult-onset allergies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2. Avoiding Allergy Triggers is Your Only Option<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If that\u2019s the case, you have several options to reduce your symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
