Are pollen allergies dangerous?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Most Often Not: Pollen is a common cause of seasonal allergy symptoms which, for most people, are more an inconvenience (congestion) than a danger (trouble breathing). However, for those with asthma or other reactive airway (lung) conditions, pollen and other airborn irritants can cause problems with breathing to the extent that they need medical attention. There are good medications available for people at risk.
