What is cedar fever?

My cousin who lives abroad mentioned something called 'cedar fever' and how bad her allergies get because of it. We don't have that here, right? Just wondering what exactly this 'cedar fever' is.

Don't stress too much, it is not actually a viral flu or a real fever! It is just a massive allergic reaction to pollen from mountain cedar trees that causes runny nose and itchy eyes.

If you are traveling to areas with heavy cedar trees, carry antihistamines. It is a common pollen allergy, so consult a doctor if the symptoms disrupt your work.

It is a seasonal allergy caused by cedar tree pollen. Drinking warm water and steam inhalation can help soothe your irritated airways.

I try to keep my allergy triggers in check because inflammation impacts my PCOS. Cedar fever is just a pollen allergy, so check with an allergist for proper guidance.

As if regular allergies weren't enough, now we have cedar fever to worry about! It is just seasonal pollen allergy, so keeping windows closed during peak season helps.
