“Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.” Especially if your enemy is pollen that causes seasonal allergies. By exposing yourself to pollen little by little, you could prepare your immune system to perform better during allergy season. And one of the best ways to expose yourself to pollen? Well, you could go to an allergist’s office twice a week for
immunotherapy. That’s where the doctor injects you with a dose of the
very pollen that causes your red, watery eyes and itchy, runny nose.
Over time, your immune system learns to tolerate the pollen and your
allergy is history.
