Seasonal allergic rhinitis may commonly be diagnosed by the history alone!. As an example, a history of episodic exposure to inhaled allergens such as cat salivary proteins, horse dander, murine urinary proteins, pollen, or house dust mite feces that may provoke acute allergic symptoms is easily diagnosed as episodic allergic rhinitis!. If allergen exposure is seasonal, tree and grass pollen in the spring (rose fever) or ragweed pollen exposure in the fall (hay fever) are the most likely culprits, and the symptoms are predictable and reproducibleWww@Answer-Health@Com
