Hay Fever in Japan is a common allergic reaction that affects a significant portion of the Japanese population. It is primarily caused by the pollen of Japanese cedar and Japanese cypress trees, which are widespread throughout the country.
Causes[edit]
Hay fever in Japan is primarily caused by the pollen of two types of trees: the Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) and the Japanese cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa). These trees were widely planted throughout Japan following World War II, leading to a significant increase in hay fever cases in the decades that followed.
Symptoms[edit]
The symptoms of hay fever in Japan are similar to those of hay fever in other parts of the world. They include:
Treatment[edit]
Treatment for hay fever in Japan typically involves the use of antihistamines, nasal sprays, and eye drops. In severe cases, immunotherapy may be recommended.
Prevention[edit]
Prevention strategies for hay fever in Japan include avoiding outdoor activities during peak pollen seasons, wearing sunglasses to protect the eyes, and using air purifiers at home.
