Yes. Allergies to and irritation from some things can cause upper respiratory symptoms that are similar to some of the symptoms of influenza, since they are affecting the same types of tissue in the respiratory system. An example is that getting ground black pepper up your nose irritates the mucous tissue and it responds with symptoms of runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing and possible coughing like the flu or a cold. An allergy to pollen or other antigens like that also can cause the same reaction in the respiratory system tissues. All of these: allergy, irritation from pollutants or particles in the air, a cold virus and the flu cause the tissue to react to try to flood out what is causing the problem by creating mucus and tears to wash away the offending antigens. Some of the symptoms are the same or very similar since the antigens (which include the cold and flu viruses) all trigger an immune system response. Usually the flu will cause additional symptoms, however, like a fever and body aches that the other problems do not generally cause.
