A new Harris Interactive phone survey conducted among 1,000 allergy sufferers, 1,000 consumers (both allergy sufferers and non-sufferers) and 300 physicians shows that beyond the sneezing, sniffling and watery eyes, allergies also have deep and emotional impacts on a sufferer's mood and self-perceptions.
According to “Attitudes About Allergies,” 62 percent of allergy sufferers say their allergies affect their mood. 51 percent of sufferers feel annoyed, 48 percent feel irritable, and 42 percent feel frustrated. Additionally, 22 percent say their allergies make them feel less attractive and 19 percent feel self-conscious.
