Hay Fever FAQ’s
Q. What causes hay fever?
A. Hay fever is usually caused by pollen which is why spring and summer time, when grasses, pants and trees release their pollen, are not the favourite seasons of hay fever sufferers.
Your body has learned to respond to pollen as a potential harmful substance. Therefore the body responds with typical allergic symptoms such as watery eyes, runny nose and wheezy chest.
Q. Why are my hay fever symptoms worse one year than another?
A. The biggest influence on hay fever season is the weather. A warmer winter often foreshadows a more severe pollen season. A warmer spring also allows more grasses to grow which would give a more severe hay fever season during the summer and early autumn.
Q. How do I know if I have allergies or just a cold?
A. Generally allergies last longer than colds. If the same symptoms appear year after year you can be confident that you are allergic to something in the air whether it be spores, pollen or pollen etc.
When suffering from a cold nasal discharge is typically yellow or green. Nasal discharge during allergies is clear.
Q. What are some good hay fever remedies?
The best remedy, as in the medical term P.R.I.C.E, is prevention. Try to avoid areas which you know will give you allergic symptoms. Keeping your windows closed during pollen seasons will also work and ensure that you are running a dehumidifier such as the EcoAir DC202 or air purifier such as the asthma and allergy foundation approved Fellowes Aeramax DX5.
Next try some of the remedies which are listed above. Start with the tablets and spray as these are very low-cost and very portable. If these don’t work then try the dust mite remover and mattress encasement as there is a chance that your ‘hay fever’ is not hay fever at all but an allergy towards dust mites.
