Everybody is affected by allergies
1 of 5
It is commonly believed that allergies affect everybody, indiscriminately. In fact, this assumption necessitates almost everybody to take precautionary measures.

2 of 5
Childhood is considered as the most impressionable time and this assumption is not without a reason. It is believed that in childhood, allergies which you tend to suffer from are the only ones you must be protected against. However, this presumption is too simplistic and redundant. As you grow older, your body is exposed to different things which automatically increase the scope of allergies you can suffer from.

Those who suffer from seasonal allergies often think moving away from a particular location can reduce the intensity of the allergy. However, it is a faulty logic since the pollens which cause the allergy do not remain restricted to a particular area.

4 of 5
