Hay fever

Hay fever is an allergic reaction to pollen – with sneezing, itching, watering eyes and a running nose. It is well treatable and belongs, with stronger complaints, to be clarified by a doctor / allergist. At the Kyborg Institute we additionally classify the theme on a soul-related level – expressly as a personal, worldview-based view.

Factual: a pollen allergy

With hay fever, the immune system reacts excessively to flower pollen (see also allergies). Effective are the avoiding of triggers, medically coordinated medication and, if needed, a desensitisation. With shortness of breath or a suspicion of allergic asthma, please have it clarified by a doctor.

Some people experience allergies also as a “defensive stance” towards something that burdens them. That is a worldview-based reading – no claim about causes and no hint that someone is “to blame” or behaves wrongly.

What does that mean in practice?

Does a 'balanced love life' protect against hay fever?

No. This earlier causal claim we have removed – it is false. Hay fever is an allergy and has nothing to do with the sex life.

What helps?

Avoiding triggers, medically coordinated medication (e.g. antihistamines) and, if needed, a desensitisation. With shortness of breath or a suspicion of allergic asthma, please have it clarified by a doctor.
