Spring is here again, often the worst time of the year for allergy sufferers. Up to 1 in 3 people suffer from allergic rhinitis, or hay fever. These symptoms can result in a significant reduction in a person's quality of life, including affects the ability to work, play and even sleep. And, while there is a large selection of allergy medications on the market, these only help so much.
