Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which of these allergies is one most likely to have between the months of March and May? (Please note, seasons in this quiz are defined by the United States)

Answer: tree allergy

Tree allergens are most common in the spring months, while grass allergens are most present in May and June. Weed allergens occur between the months of August and October, and medical allergens do not have a peak season.

2. Dust mite allergies usually peak in which season?

Answer: Winter

Dust mites are a year-round allergy, but cases tend to increase during the winter months.

3. When one has an allergy to cats, what specifically are they allergic to?

Answer: saliva

One is not allergic to cat hair, one is allergic to cat saliva. The hair only acts as the medium for the saliva to reach your system when cats lick themselves. That's why most people do not react to hairless cats, there is no medium flying around the house for the saliva to reach their system.

4. True or False: During the months of October and November, an allergy to mold will be most prevalent.

Answer: True

Though allergies to weed and mold are more common in late summer/fall, the busiest season for allergies is typically spring.

5. True or false: It is possible to have seasonal allergic rhinitis and year-round allergic rhinitis.

Answer: True

If someone has allergies year-round, and peaks for certain allergies in the spring, then they have seasonal and year-round allergic rhinitis.
