INHALANT PANEL
What are Inhalant Allergies?
Inhalant allergies are hypersensitivities of the immune system which occur due to a specific IgE antibody mediated response. Typical inhalant allergens are pollens from grasses, trees and weeds, mold spores, pet dander, and dust mites. Many people who have inhalant allergies only experience symptoms during certain seasons.

SYMPTOMS
One of the most common allergic conditions is hay fever, which is also known as allergic rhinitis. Allergic rhinitis appears in two different forms:
Seasonal: Symptoms occur in spring, summer and early fall. They are usually caused by allergic sensitivity to pollens from trees, grasses or weeds, or to airborne mold spores.
Perennial: Symptoms occur all year-round. Perennial allergic rhinitis is generally caused by sensitivity to house dust mites, animal dander, cockroaches and/or mold spores.

Common symptoms of allergic rhinitis include:
• Runny Nose
• Itchy palate, nose, eyes, throat and/or skin
• Red irritated eyes
• Puffy, swollen eyelids
• Sneezing
• Coughing
• Wheezing and shortness of breath
• Contact sensitivity on the skin causing eczema

PREVALENCE
Allergies are the 6th leading cause of chronic illness in the U.S. with an annual cost of more than $18 billion. More than 50 million Americans suffer from allergies each year. Global sensitization rates to one or more common allergens among school children are currently approaching 40%-50%. Individuals diagnosed with hay fever in the last 12 months: 20 million.
