Millions of people cringe when they see flowers start blooming in spring each year, because they know they will soon be fighting spring allergies.

Allergy now reportedly appears regularly in the top 10 reasons for visits to doctors� offices.

Researchers and doctors are still unclear on exactly why some people are affected by allergens such as dust, pollen and mold while others are not. Faced with data that the developed nations of the West have a higher incidence of allergies, scientists have put forward the �hygiene hypothesis� -- that the �clean� surroundings, immunizations and antibiotics prevalent in these countries may be responsible for many people�s reactions to allergens. Other factors that may be contributing include diet, exposure to chemicals and carpeted housing.
