Allergic Rhinitis & Allergy Testing
If you sneeze a lot, if your nose is often runny or stuffy, or if your eyes, mouth or skin often feel itchy, you may have allergic rhinitis. According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology this is a condition that can affect up to 40 to 60 million Americans nationwide. 

People with allergic rhinitis generally experience symptoms after breathing in an allergy-causing substance such as pollen or dust. In the fall, a common allergen is ragweed. In the spring, the most common triggers are grasses and pollen.
