\"\"<\/p>\n

Many people associate allergies with the spring and summer months, but just because the weather is turning colder doesn’t mean you’re immune from itchy, watery eyes and a runny nose<\/a>. Your immune system is just as likely to pull a few tricks rather than treats in October as it is in April.<\/p>\n

What causes fall allergies?<\/h3>\n

Allergies occur when your immune system perceives an otherwise harmless substance as a threat. In response, it releases chemicals called histamines into the bloodstream, prompting irritation of the eyes and nose.<\/p>\n

This is especially dangerous for people with asthma; allergies can cause inflammation of the airways, leading to coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and tightness in the chest.
