Definition of Allergic Rhinitis
Allergic rhinitis is an inflammation of the nasal passages, usually associated with watery nasal discharge and itching of the nose and eyes.Description of Allergic Rhinitis
Allergic rhinitis affects about 20 percent of the American population and ranks as one of the most common illnesses in the U.S. The symptoms occur in the nose and eyes and usually occur after exposure to dust, danders, or certain seasonal pollens in people that are allergic to these substances.Two-thirds of all patients have symptoms of allergic rhinitis before the age of 30, but onset can occur at any age. Allergic rhinitis has no sexual predilection, although boys up to the age of 10 are twice as likely to have symptoms as girls.
There is strong genetic predisposition to allergic rhinitis. One parent with a history of allergic rhinitis has about a 30 percent chance of producing offspring with the disorder; the risk increases to 50 percent if both parents have a history of allergies.
Patients can be severely restricted in their daily activities, resulting in excessive time away from school or work. Millions of dollars are spent each year on physician services and medication for treatment of this chronic illness.

Orderliness (also called neatness and tidiness) is a personality trait which involves the organization of things into a state of order and symmetry in the world, as contrasted to disorder and chaos. Orderliness is associated with other qualities such as cleanliness and diligence, and is generally considered to be a desirable quality.
Orderliness, and the associated desire for order and symmetry, is considered to be positive. However, an excessive desire for orderliness can be associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Freud associated excessive concern about orderliness with what he referred to as the anal, although this theory is now generally regarded as obsolete.
