In the form of an allergic reaction*
First, the cedar pollen is mis-marked by an antibody, generally an IgE antibody.
The IgE can be picked up by two different cells - cells that destroy the pollen and cells that react to it. Those that destroy it will go on to alert the immune system of its presence, which will produce more antibodies and cause the person around the pollen to feel weaker, as well as cause a stronger allergic reaction.
The allergic reaction is caused by a cell known as the Mast Cell. The mast cell is hit with a pollen particle covered in antibodies. The cell reads these antibodies and produces a substance called histamine.
Histamine causes the skin to swell. As the skin swells, it tightens, which can cause irritation. In the eyes and throat this can cause the production of mucus.
Histamine can go to many different parts of the body. Most allergy sufferers suffer from swollen, runny noses (Runny noses are worsened by the swelling of mucus membranes in the eyes). This is histamine. Eyes may swell up and tear. This is histamine. The throat may become sore. This is histamine.
Another reaction is when the histamine attacks the skin rather than the mucus membranes. This can causes hives and the swelling of the entire face. We see this more in reaction to plant oils, like poison ivy.
* - not everyone will respond in an allergic reaction. In some people, the IgE antibodies will not bind to the pollen and thus the reaction is completely avoided.
