Does exposure to pollen increase your hay fever resistance?

I seem to recall that when you grow up, exposure to pollen increases your resistance to hayfever.

Is that true? And is it true when you're still an adult?

just wondered if anyone knew.

funny I wondered that too. two years ago I had really bad hay fever symptoms then I moved to the city and I had no symptoms what so ever. I think its the environment you live in that can help with resistance in hay fever.

I lived in the countryside for the first 12 years of my life, our house backed onto fields so there was loadddssss of pollen around and I never had a problem. Then we moved to the city for 3 years - still no symptoms. 2 years ago we moved back to the countryside and I get really severe hay fever! It gets so bad that I can't go outside for more than 5 minutes at a time!

So I suppose I grew up resistant and then when I wasn't really around any pollen I lost the resistance!
