Are Your Allergy Symptoms Never-Ending?

If you find yourself sneezing, coughing, or rubbing your eyes all year round, you're not alone. Many UK residents suffer from perennial (year-round) allergies caused by everyday indoor and food allergens—not just spring or summer pollen.

Symptoms of Year-Round Allergies

According to the NHS, indoor allergens like dust mites, pet dander, or household mould are leading causes of prolonged symptoms.

Understanding the Immune Response

Perennial allergies occur when your immune system senses an innocent substance as a threat and triggers an inflammatory response. With daily exposure, symptoms become ongoing, rather than seasonal.
