Allergy’s Favorite Symptoms

If allergies had a top ten list of their favorite symptoms what would be on it? Would they prefer life threatening or just really annoying?

The most common symptoms, that may or may not be on their favorites list:

Breathing problems.

This one should be fun for an allergy. It really gets the persons attention. Nothing like the lack of oxygen to center a person’s attention on the allergy.

Burning, watery or itchy eyes.

This symptom falls into the really annoying category. It could cause additional problems if you can’t see where you’re going.

Red, swollen eyes, also called Conjunctivitis.

Certainly annoying, but most people can deal with this one.

Coughing.

This one gets old real quick. And a constant cough quickly becomes painful.

Diarrhea.

This one might start out in the annoying category, but left unchecked could switch to the life threatening section very quickly.

Headache.

Depending on the severity of the headache, this one might be tolerable.

Hives.

This symptom is not only annoying and uncomfortable (possibly painful) it draws the attention of strangers on the street.

Itchy nose, mouth, throat or skin.

Another in the category of really annoying. An itch that can’t be soothed is one of the most annoying things there is.

Runny nose.

Yeah, this one could cause problems with other people. No one likes to hear someone constantly sniffing or blowing their nose. Makes people wonder what germs you’re spreading around.

Skin rashes.

Possibly ugly to look at, but tolerable
