It is a sunny spring afternoon.

Do allergy symptoms keep you from doing what you want to do?
A stuffy, itchy, runny nose; and sneezing are common symptoms of indoor and outdoor allergies, also called indoor and outdoor allergic rhinitis (rye-NITE-iss) or hay fever. These symptoms can affect your everyday life.
Allergy symptoms can bother you when you are trying to:
- Enjoy outdoor activities, such as a spring fair, a summer picnic, or a fall hike
- Play outdoors
- Join in sports
- Get your work done
- Stay alert at school
- Get a good night’s sleep
This allergy season, think about a different way to treat your symptoms.
