Perennial allergies refer to specific allergens that cause an allergic reaction year-round. Common examples include pet hair or dander, food allergies or medication allergies. In contrast, seasonal allergies typically occur with weather changes that allow for new environmental plant, mold, insect or grass growth.

Major allergens include pollen grains, fungal spores, foods, insects, and dust mites.
