3. Itching of the eyes, the roof of the mouth, or nose
If your eyes get all watery and start itching, and there’s nothing you can do to mitigate it, you’re probably experiencing one of the most typical symptoms of seasonal allergies. Itchiness and redness of the eyes can be very annoying and embarrassing. If you have a full-blown allergy attack before a meeting at work or at the office, people might think you’re crying or just had an emotional breakdown.
You also can’t see as well, and your hands and fingers will always be reaching up to your eyes instinctively to scratch that itch. Itchiness and redness aren’t limited to your eyes, though. Your nose and the roof of your mouth may also be itchy. This can cause sneezing. It’s terrible to start sneezing in the middle of itching everywhere, with snot running down your nose, and everything all bothered and irritated. That’s when you need to take some fast-acting allergy medicine and some Kleenex.
