Pollen - In summer, the pollen of plants and grass spreads more in the air. These pollen particles enter the nose, eyes or respiratory tract through the air and cause allergies.

Dust storms - Winds blow strongly in summer and dust storms can sometimes occur. This can trigger allergies, especially for those with respiratory allergies or asthma.

Allergy to mold and moisture - In places where there is heat as well as some moisture, fungus grows more there, which is a major cause of allergy.

Allergy to insects and pests - Mosquitoes, bees, wasps etc. become more active in summer. Allergy can also occur due to their sting or the protein released from their body.
