During the spring and summer, a lot of people suffer from what is commonly known as „hay fever“, pollinosis or seasonal allergic rhinitis; an allergic reaction to the inhalation of pollens.

These cells then release inflammatory mediators like histamine, that cause the classic “hay fever” symptoms: sneezing, itchy and watery eyes, swelling and inflammation of the nasal passages and an increase in mucus production.

These sponge-like tissues in the penis and clitoris fill with blood during arousal and are responsible for the enlargement of the penis in the male and the clitoris in the female.Sleeplessness
