Cold allergies in monsoon.

Sneezing, itching, weeping, wheezing, coughing almost three fourth people suffer from this problem during monsoon.
Allergies all result from a characteristic in the immune system which normally serves to protect our bodies from microscope foreign invaders. The defect in question is a tendency to overact to foreign substances such as pollens that otherwise would be utterly harmless.
Here is an outline of what happens when an allergic reaction to pollen takes place.
A pollen grain lands on the membrane of the nose or lungs if a person is allergic then antibodies that recocnize these particular foreign molecules are in the neighborhood. They attack themselves to a particular type of defense cell called a mast cell.
The antibodies get stuck to the foreign molecules.
Now a network of antibodies attacking the pollen is formed which activates the mast cell. The mast cell then release the histamine which produces the symptoms of allergy.
Histamine causes the itching, it also makes the tiny blood vessels dilute and becomes leaky hence the sweeling and redness associated with allergies. The itching, running nose and sneezing of hay fever are mainly produced by histamines.
The basic course of events and its variants are responsible for allergic reactions why so many people get colds in the monsoon or exposure to moist wind while others get eczema. These differences in reaction pattern are not understood.
A combination of factors cause allergies.
Inherited ( generic) tendency.
Exposure to a molecule which acts an allergen.
Mental stress.
Sneezes are triggered by dust, pollen or any irritant particle that settles in sensitive mucus membrane of the nose, which is richy supplied by nerves
These membranes react by sending signals to the respiratory centre that is located at the base of the brain. Almost immediately, the signals are sent to the muscles involved in breathing causing the subject first to inhale, and then closed the airways and use respiratory muscles to squeeze the chest. When the air in the lungs is under high pressure, the airways suddenly open, expeling the irritant from its pathways. The air in the lungs virtually explodes upward and onward carrying everything in its path.. Each sneeze may contain about 5000 droplets and unless a hand or a handkerchief intervenes, some of this material which may be infections can travel as far as 12 feet.
