YEREVAN. - The most widespread seasonal allergy is allergic
rhinitis, and 10 percent of Armenia's population suffers from it,
allergologist-immunologist Armine Hakobyan said during a press
conference on Friday.
>From the seasonal allergies, the physician also set aside bronchial
asthma, which gets worse in summer.
"For the most part, allergies are caused by pollen and some mildew
fungi. These may also cause bronchial asthma to grow worse," Hakobyan
added.
She also pointed to the acute allergic reactions caused by insect
bites.
"Primarily the bee and wasp stings cause allergic reactions, but the
bee stings are more dangerous," the allergologist-immunologist stated.
Armine Hakobyan also informed that five to seven people die in Armenia
each year because of insect bites.
