A good friend of mine was complaining recently that every time he has a smoke he gets a runny, nose. It was only when he mentioned that he suffers with hay fever that I had a ‘light bulb’ moment! Could it be an allergy to cannabis? Hay fever is essentially a pollen allergy and cannabis is a plant that produces pollen! I researched it and discovered that cannabis allergies and sensitivity was an actual ‘thing’ and that it had the potential to affect more people than I imagined.
Allergies are an immune overreaction by the body in an attempt to protect the respiratory system from perceived threats. The antibodies produced by the body keep the threat at bay, but also cause the symptoms of allergic responses. Allergy symptoms range from uncomfortable niggles to fatal seizures. In general day to day, allergies are mild to moderate at worst and relief is usually found by avoiding the irritant and/or taking an antihistamine tablet.![Sensimilla-Sensitivity](https://soft-secrets.s3.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com/8/2019/08/can-cannabis-help-with-your-spring-allergies-hero-300x188.jpg)
