Brief description of study

The purpose of this study is to measure the pH (acidity) of the nasal cavity in subjects with and without allergic rhinitis (AR) in order to better understand how the nose works and how beset to treat AR. The primary objectives of this study are to establish normal ranges in nasal pH and to compare nasal pH values between subjects with and without AR. The secondary objective is to identify a correlation between nasal pH values and worse quality of life.

Detailed description of study

1.1         To identify a baseline nasal pH value in subjects with and without AR
1.2         To identify a correlation between nasal pH values and worse quality of life
