How to alleviate ragweed allergy symptoms?

It is estimated that nearly half of the world's population suffers from some form of allergy, and of that number, 75% are allergic to ragweed pollen. Ragweed begins to bloom in mid-August, producing a large number of pollen grains. One plant releases about 8 million pollen grains into the air during a single flowering season. Pollen grains are extremely mobile and can be found at distances greater than one kilometer, facilitated by the aerodynamic shape of the pollen grain, i.e., the shape of a small ball with small spikes on the surface.

Ragweed pollen is a strong allergen, and as few as 20 to 30 pollen grains are enough to trigger an allergic reaction in a sensitive person, most often manifesting as symptoms of allergic rhinitis such as: sneezing, nasal itching, profuse watery nasal discharge, swelling of the nasal mucosa, and difficulty breathing through the nose. Do you also suffer from allergic rhinitis, and do your symptoms worsen in late summer when ragweed blooms?
