Maple leaf sycamore, also called sycamore maple, is a major trigger of spring allergies. Its pollen can cause irritation in sensitive people, leading to seasonal allergic rhinitis. Symptoms usually get worse on bright, windy days when pollen levels are at their peak in the air.
Testing is advisable if you experience typical allergy symptoms in the spring, particularly when maple leaf sycamore trees are in bloom.
Sneezing Itchy, watery eyes Nasal congestion Sinus pressure Wheezing or coughing
The immune system of allergic individuals identifies maple leaf sycamore pollen as invasive, triggering a histamine response that causes symptoms.
Limit outdoor exposure during peak pollen times, use air purifiers indoors, and consider antihistamines or nasal sprays as recommended by a healthcare provider.
