What is a grass allergy?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Like "hay fever": The allergic person breathes in the grass pollen and their body "thinks it is a foreign invader"..It over-reacts and the immune ells release histamine and other chemicals...This causes runny nose itchy eyes sneezing etc.

Meds & allergy shots: The most effective means for treating allergy to grass pollen are medications (antihistamines and prescription nasal sprays), and immunotherapy (allergy shots). Medications treat the symptoms, whereas allergy shots treat the cause and can be curative.
