Why do hay fever symptoms feel worse indoors sometimes?
Hay fever symptoms can feel worse indoors due to the accumulation of allergens like dust mites, pet dander, and mould, which can trigger reactions in sensitive individuals. Additionally, indoor air can become stagnant, allowing these allergens to linger and intensify symptoms. Furthermore, activities such as cleaning or vacuuming can stir up allergens, making symptoms more noticeable.
Key points:
- Indoor allergens can accumulate over time.
- Stagnant air can trap allergens inside.
- Cleaning activities can release allergens into the air.
- Psychological factors may heighten awareness of symptoms indoors.
