Wow, the pollen is really floating around New York this month, as spring is in full bloom. While all those gorgeous blossoms herald warmer, sunnier weather, they also bring on the suffering for people with seasonal allergies.

Treat Your Allergies by Symptom
What's your worse allergy symptom? Itchy eyes? Sneezing? Not being able to breathe? Follow this guide to treat your allergy symptoms.

Treat Spring Allergies
Pollens that are spread by the wind are usually the main cause of seasonal allergies, while pollens that rely on insects (such as the honeybee) to be carried to other plants do not. Most plants with bright, vibrant flowers (such as roses) are insect-pollinated and do not generally cause seasonal allergies since the pollen is not usually present in the air. The real culprit? Mostly trees.

How Does Pollen Cause Allergies?
When pollen is present in the air, it can land in a person's eyes, nose, lungs and skin and cause an allergic reaction.

Got Itchy Eyes?
This is my least favorite allergy symptom, not only because it feels super annoying, but it looks terrible -- like I just stayed up all night watching video games at close distance.
