Dr. Christine Rogers:

University of Maryland, Seasonality of Suicide and Airborne Allergens

Significant seasonal peaks in suicide frequency have been consistently identified across continents, countries, and hemispheres but their explanation remains elusive. We believe that seasonal aeroallergens that dramatically peak in spring (i.e., tree-pollen) and in late summer/early fall (i.e., ragweed) represent environmental triggers for suicide. This hypothesis is based on the association between depression and allergy as well as the depressogenic and prosuicidal effects of certain cytokines which are released in a multitude of inflammatory conditions, including allergy.
