"COVID-19 Infection Linked to Higher Allergic Disease Risk, Study Finds"

A study published in Nature Communications found that individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 have a 20% higher occurrence of allergic diseases compared to those not infected, with a more than double likelihood of developing asthma. The study, which included over 22 million individuals from South Korea, Japan, and the UK, also revealed that COVID-19 vaccination with at least two doses weakens the risk of new allergies. The findings emphasize the need for persistent health policies to manage the severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection and highlight the increased risk of allergic manifestations in individuals with a history of COVID-19.

"Understanding the Causes of a Runny Nose When Eating"

A runny nose when eating can be caused by various forms of rhinitis, including allergic and nonallergic rhinitis such as gustatory rhinitis, which is triggered by eating, and vasomotor rhinitis, triggered by changes in temperature and humidity. While self-diagnosis is possible, formal diagnosis by a physician is recommended to rule out other conditions. Treatment options include topical medications, nasal sprays, and procedures like RhinAer, which interrupts nerve signals to reduce symptoms. If the runny nose is bothersome or persistent, it's best to consult a doctor, especially if accompanied by thick or discolored discharge or other concerning symptoms.

"Rising Cases of Autumn Sneezing Syndrome: Hay Fever Experts on Alert"

Medical experts are reporting a rise in cases of Autumn Sneezing Syndrome, also known as allergic rhinitis or hay fever, during the colder months. Many individuals are experiencing sneezing fits and runny noses without other cold or flu symptoms, leading them to believe they have a different illness. The increase in cases may be attributed to higher levels of airborne mould and fungal spores during autumn, which can trigger hay fever allergies. Common triggers include dead vegetation, grass cuttings, compost heaps, and garden sheds. Allergy experts recommend taking antihistamines and using nasal steroid sprays to alleviate symptoms. Showering and changing clothes after being outside in areas with high mould spore levels can also help reduce exposure.

Allergies Found to Heighten Risk of Long COVID in Recent Study

A study published in Clinical & Experimental Allergy analyzed 13 prospective studies and found that pre-existing allergic conditions, such as asthma and allergic rhinitis, were associated with a higher risk of experiencing long COVID. However, the evidence for the association with asthma was uncertain. The study highlights the need for a better and harmonized definition of long COVID for future epidemiological studies.
